Nage-o-thon : Aidez-nous à créer un fonds de voyage d’équipe!

We&rsquo;re the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees women&rsquo;s water polo team, and we&rsquo;re holding a Swim-a-Thon.&nbsp; As we&rsquo;re a primarily student-athlete funded team, increasing financial accessibility is critical to our program. With your help, we&rsquo;ll establish a team travel fund to ensure every student-athlete has the financial freedom to compete without stress or limits.&nbsp; Many of our student-athletes juggle demanding training schedules, competitions, full-time studies, jobs, volunteer work, personal commitments and more. Despite these challenges, we achieved a bronze medal at the 2024 National Collegiate Water Polo Championship, defeating McGill in a thrilling shootout.&nbsp; To support our Swim-a-Thon and help us raise $2,500 for a team travel fund, <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=mVzgnW4eoVkpEzIu1L0AeQxr_2B_2F95kd0t21bnenVgfN4_3D" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">select a challenge for us to complete</a>.

In 2025, thanks to the generosity of donors, we represented uOttawa wearing brand new Gee Gees water polo caps, an experience that was truly rewarding. &nbsp; While water polo is a small sport, we&rsquo;re committed to growing it and making it accessible. A dedicated travel fund is a crucial step towards that goal.&nbsp; The Gee-Gees women&rsquo;s water polo team is immensely grateful for your support.

We’re the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees women’s water polo team, and we’re holding a Swim-a-Thon.  As we’re a primarily student-athlete funded team, increasing financial accessibility is critical to our program. With your help, we’ll establish a team travel fund to ensure every student-athlete has the financial freedom to compete without stress or limits.  Many of our student-athletes juggle demanding training schedules, competitions, full-time studies, jobs, volunteer work, personal commitments and more. Despite these challenges, we achieved a bronze medal at the 2024 National Collegiate Water Polo Championship, defeating McGill in a thrilling shootout.  To support our Swim-a-Thon and help us raise $2,500 for a team travel fund, <a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/?sm=mVzgnW4eoVkpEzIu1L0AeQxr_2B_2F95kd0t21bnenVgfN4_3D" target="_blank">select a challenge for us to complete</a>. Your choice will help us create a special workout for our Swim-a-Thon. Don’t miss your chance to make us complete an insane swim routine!  Challenges and amounts  <ul><li>300 m = $60 donation or $5/month  </li><li>500 m = $120 donation or $12/month  </li><li>1000 m = $180 donation or $15/month  </li><li>2000 m = $240 donation or $20/month  </li></ul>In addition, if we meet our goals, we’ll unlock two opportunities for additional support from uOttawa: <ul><li>$500 bonus for reaching 32 donors </li><li>$500 bonus for reaching our fundraising goal of $2,500 </li></ul>This year marks our second-ever Swim-a-Thon. In 2025, thanks to the generosity of donors, we represented uOttawa wearing brand new Gee Gees water polo caps, an experience that was truly rewarding.   While water polo is a small sport, we’re committed to growing it and making it accessible. A dedicated travel fund is a crucial step towards that goal.  The Gee-Gees women’s water polo team is immensely grateful for your support. Thank you for helping us reach our goals! For any questions about the program or fundraising, or just to wish us luck, email wwaterpolof@uOttawa.ca.     To see our posts on our donors’ challenges, follow us on Instagram @geegeswwp!
