The Swimathon is a fundraising event where swimmers recruit sponsors and swim laps to raise money for community causes. In 2010, the event was opened to other organizations and groups in Cluj who raised 63,000 LEI. 38 swimmers participated and supported causes like education, assistance for the elderly and children with special needs. The money raised supported projects like scholarships for students, meals for the elderly, and equipment for a kindergarten and mobile clinic. Over 30 volunteers helped organize the successful 2010 Swimathon event.
