CHAMPIONS CLUB

The USA Swimming Foundation Champions Club is compromised of our most loyal supporters. Members of the Champions Club provide financial leadership to the swimming community and receive benefits reserved for our inner circle of friends. By making a gift to the Champions Club, you strengthen the sport of swimming from grassroots to gold medals.

 

Your contribution to the USA Swimming Foundation goes to:

 

Learn-to-Swim Grants: Each Year, the USA Swimming Foundation gives grants to swim lesson providers. In turn, these dollars are used as scholarships for children and adults to participate in learn-to-swim programs across the United States. In 2023, the Foundation provided over $800,000 in funding to support Learn-to-Swim initiatives. To learn more about our Learn-to-Swim Programs here.

 

The USA Swimming National Team: The USA Swimming Foundation supports our National Team through direct athlete support, incentives for coaches, and Junior National Team travel. Champions Club donations allow our coaches and athletes to stay focused on their swimming goals. Your gift can provide the crucial financial support needed to compete on swimming’s most elite stages. In 2023, the Foundation provided over $1 Million in funding for our nation’s top athletes. To learn more about our National Team, click here.

 

Impacting Communities: In 2021, the USA Swimming Foundation added the Impacting Communities pillar to its mission. We are committed to expanding opportunities and access to underserved communities to diversify our sport. In 2023, the Foundation has given away over $350,000 to support Diversity Camps, swim clubs at HBCUs, and clubs led by women and/or racially diverse individuals.
