Thank you again for taking the time to donate this past March to UCLA Club Swimming. With your support we were able to send 18 athletes to Ohio State University to compete at Nationals where the team placed 24th overall. We had many swimmers final and score points for the team, and we're so happy and thankful that we had the opportunity to travel and succeed on the national level. See below for the full list of all our finalists! We were also able to purchase a laptop dedicated to running our home meets which will help us be a leader among West Coast teams. Additionally, we bought a new storage bin and swim paddles with the extra funds we raised. Again, thank you for helping our team grow and provide a high level of competition for our swimmers. Go Bruins!

As of this morning, we have reached our goal of $4000! Thank you so much to all our donors, you've helped ensure that our club athletes can travel to Ohio State! With five days left still to go, we're excited to see how much more we can surpass our goal, so keep spreading the word of our campaign! Thank you again, all our swimmers have been working so hard to fundraise, and it's great motivation to see their efforts pay off!

Thank you so much to all of our donors for a successful Week 3 of fundraising. We've made it to 81% of our goal, and have entered the home stretch less than $1,000 away from our target. Continue to share the word of our campaign to help us reach our goal!

In the water, our swimmers have had another chance to qualify for Nationals at timed trials held during a swim practice. We had amazingly fast swims from all our competitors, especially since it's hard to mimic racing conditions when not at an actual meet. Please check out our Facebook page, UCLA Club Swimming, to see profiles of all our athletes attending Nationals!

Firstly, thank you to our amazing donors who helped us reach 66% percent of our goal! We're two thirds there! Our swimmers are still dedicated to coming to practice even with non-stop midterms and the unusually rainy winter LA has been having, so we want to do all we can to support them. Please help spread the word of our campaign, and help our swimmers get to Ohio State for Nationals!

Pictured below are some of our swimmers getting some cross-training out of the water by taking advantage of a sunny Saturday, and hiking! It's definitely the most fun way to do some dryland! 

We've had a wonderful first week of fundraising thanks to all our amazing donors! Please continue to spread the word of our campaign! Since our fundraiser started we had swimmers travel to UC San Diego to compete and had two more athletes qualify for Nationals. Back at home, our team has been hard at work in the water, training for Nationals and our upcoming timed trials where swimmers will have another chance to qualify for events. Thank you again for all your support and go Bruins!

We wanted to take a moment to thank all of our amazing donors for contributing towards an amazing first 3 days of our campaign! Our goal was to have 30% of our end total raised, and we smashed it at 45%. A special thanks to our amazing alumni swimmers for donating as well! The campaign still has a ways to go and plenty of time to get it done, so spread the word about our mission to bring the highest level of competition to our swimmers! Thanks again for all your support!
