Who We Are & The Opportunity to Make a Splash
Welcome to UCLA Club Swimming, a vibrant community that has been making waves since 2007. We're not just a Swim Club; we're a social atmosphere that provides the unique opportunity to swim in college while enjoying a supportive and inclusive environment. With over 200 active members, last year, we proudly took 27 individuals to Nationals, a monumental achievement for our team. This year, Nationals is in Indiana—a dream for many of our swimmers. However, we face a challenge: the financial burden restricts the number of participants we can take to away meets.
The Challenge & Your Solution
Travel and lodging costs, particularly for Nationals, pose a significant challenge for our team members. Out-of-state flights, especially for such a major competition, make up the majority of our spending. The solution? We aim to provide stipends to our swimmers, reducing the burden and ensuring that more of our team members can participate.

Your Impact: Making Waves Together
With your generous donations, we aim to decrease the cost for Nationals by over 40%, bringing the per swimmer cost to under $300. This matters because it allows us to continue doing what we love—representing our school on the big stage and fostering an inclusive environment. Our goal is to make every meet accessible to all team members, eliminating financial barriers to participation in any club swim-affiliated event.

Previous Achievements & Future Aspirations
In our last campaign, we raised nearly $7,000 and positively impacted over 180 swimmers. At Nationals, we brought 27 participants and achieved remarkable rankings—32nd overall, 20th for women, and 44th for men, out of well over 100 competing teams. We brought 44 people to an overnight meet at Stanford and over 60 to an away meet at UC San Diego. Additionally, we were able to get catered food for our end-of-year banquet.
With your continued support, we hope to build on these achievements, making an even greater impact and ensuring that every member of our team has the opportunity to dive into success. Join us in making a splash for UCLA Club Swimming!
