CHAMPIONS CLUB

OUR MOST DISTINGUISHED AND LOYAL SUPPORTERS

Members of the Champions Club provide financial leadership to the swimming community, and receive exclusive benefits reserved for our inner circle of friends. By making a gift to the Champions Club, you help to strengthen the sport of swimming from grassroots to gold medals—from learn-to-swim programs to our sport’s top athletes.


Contributions to the USA Swimming Foundation support:

MAKE A SPLASH

Make a Splash, the Foundation’s national child-focused water safety initiative. Through Make a Splash, the USA Swimming Foundation provides scholarships for children to participate in learn-to-swim programs across the United States.  Since 2007 the USA Swimming Foundation has provided more than $6.3 million for children’s swim lessons.

U.S. NATIONAL TEAM

Our heroes on the U.S. National Team, who are in the pool and continuing to train for their next meet and this summer's FINA World Championships! In 2018, the USA Swimming Foundation provided more than $780,000 in grants to our National Team for 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 and provide the crucial financial support needed to compete on swimming’s most elite stages.

USA SWIMMING PROGRAMS

USA Swimming’s programs and services. In 2018 the USA Swimming Foundation was able to provide $120,000 to sport development to support grassroots programming. With an emphasis on Diversity Camps, President's Summits,  and Women’s Leadership Conferences.

 

USA Swimming programs and services also cover other initiatives as they arise, including critical operating expenses.
