Berkshire South Hosts Annual Splash-A-Thon Fundraiser
 |
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire South Regional Community Center (BSRCC) will host its 15th annual Splash-A-Thon fundraiser on Saturday, April 5th, at the Norris Aquatics Center. The event aims to raise $20,000 to support the center’s Adaptive Aquatics program.
The program provides aquatic activities for individuals with adaptive needs, including group swim lessons and aqua aerobics. James Graham has been named the 2025 Splash-A-Thon Ambassador, recognizing his achievement in learning to swim independently.
The Splash-A-Thon will begin with swimming at 8 a.m., followed by an aqua aerobics class at 10 a.m. Participants can contribute by swimming laps, joining the aerobics class, sponsoring swimmers, volunteering, or donating. Donations will be acknowledged with droplets displayed in the center’s lobby.
The Adaptive Aquatics programs, led by trained instructors, offer benefits such as improved range of motion and strength building. The program’s annual operating cost exceeds $50,000, and the fundraiser is intended to supplement grant funding.
Berkshire South offers classes and training for individuals of all abilities, with a focus on accessibility and adaptability. The center encourages participation from all community members.
