CHAMPIONS CLUB

The USA Swimming Foundation Champions Club is comprised 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 supports:

 

Learn-to-Swim Grants: Each Year, the USA Swimming Foundation supports lesson providers across the nation with learn-to-swim grant funding. These dollars are used as scholarships for children and adults who would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in learn-to-swim programs. In 2024, the Foundation provided $830,000 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, health and wellness resources, transition funding, and professional development opportunities. Your gift can provide the crucial financial support needed to compete on swimming’s most elite stages. In 2024, the Foundation provided over $1.1 Million in funding for our nation’s top athletes.

Impacting Communities: We are committed to revitalizing aquatic programming within diverse communities. In 2024, the Foundation invested over $275,000 to support Diversity Camps, swim programming at HBCUs, and clubs led by women and/or racially diverse individuals.
