Champions Club
The USA Swimming Foundation's Champions Club is comprised of our most distinguished and loyal supporters!
Members of the Champions Club provide crucial 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 strengthen the sport of swimming from grassroots to gold medals - from learn-to-swim programs to international competition.
Funds raised by the USA Swimming Foundation support:
- Make a Splash, the Foundation's national child-focused water safety initiative. The USA Swimming Foundation, in collaboration with our Make a Splash Local Partners, have provided more than 177,500 scholarships for learn-to-swim and water safety programs since 2007. Through our 595 partners in 50 states, more than 1.7 MILLION kids have received the opportunity to become part of the sport that we all love.*
- The U.S. National Team, who won 31 medals at the Olympic Games in London-making the USA the #1 swimming nation in the world for more that 50 years!.
- Other initiatives as they arise, including critical operating expenses.
Please join the USA Swimming Foundation’s Champions Club today, and help build a legacy for the sport we all love!
