USA Swimming Foundation Inc

Impacting Communities - Expand Competitive Opportunities: the USA Swimming Foundation focuses on investing in three impactful programs to increase access and opportunities to our sport for underrepresented communities: Community Impact Grants, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Grants and Community Swim Teams. Through the Community Impact Grant program, USA Swimming aims to grow a diverse community of champion athletes by creating competitive opportunities within diverse communities. Grant dollars are utilized for learn-to-swim programming, scholarships, technology, equipment and administrative support. By investing in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), we aim to revitalize aquatic programming within these diverse communities by supporting new water safety education and competitive opportunities. Grant dollars are utilized for learn-to-swim programming, club travel expenses, technology and equipment and administrative support. Community Swim Teams partner with municipal and recreational departments throughout the U.S. to provide athletes with USA Swimming membership resources and competitions. These partnerships also offer municipal coaches access to education, professional development and introduce a new diverse population of families, athletes and coaches to USA Swimming.
