Who we are
UCLA Artistic Swimming (AS) is a student-run and student-funded organization founded in 2021. Our team is led by our dedicated volunteer coaches, Jennifer Beckwith, Olga Molotilova, Audra Arbas, and Karen Rosolowski. Though we are a club sport, UCLA Artistic Swimming competes against D1 varsity schools such as Stanford and Ohio State University. This year, we plan to compete at Regionals and secure our spot at the 2025 US Collegiate National Championships in Michigan. Making it to Nationals in Michigan is our top goal - we want to represent our school at the highest level despite the extra challenges we face as a club team. As the #1 club team for two years in a row, we want to keep the momentum going! Our team comprises swimmers and coaches from all over the nation, with countless accolades. Our dedication, passion, and love for artistic swimming are evident in how we work and strive to bring awareness to this amazing sport.
What we need
UCLA Artistic Swimming functions as the D1 teams we compete against while receiving the funding of a club team. Our team constantly needs funding to help our athletes get gear, travel, and competition fees covered during the season. Our first season was paid mostly out of pocket by the athletes, so the funds for swimmers to compete without worrying about such financial struggles are greatly needed.
How you can help
Your donations can help us Bruins get to all our planned travel events and competitions this year! Donations allow us to travel as a team and would greatly help us with our flights, road trips, hotel stays, meals, and other needs for competitions.
Additionally, these donations also provide gear for our swimmers, such as swimsuits, caps, goggles, backpacks, parkas, and so much more used throughout the year. We want to continue competing at the level that we do for years to come, but we can't do this without the help from our donors. Thanks for supporting us, and we hope to make you proud at Nationals this year!
