Who We Are & The Opportunity to Make a Splash
Welcome to UCLA Club Swimming! We’re a friendly and inclusive swim club that has been bringing the UCLA community together since 2007. With almost 200 active members, we provide a space where students can continue swimming in college while enjoying a supportive and social environment. Last year, we proudly sent 31 swimmers to College Club Swimming Nationals, and this year, Nationals will be in Arizona—the closest this meet has ever been for us!! We’re excited about the opportunity to have a historic attendance and represent UCLA on this incredible stage on the West Coast. But to make this possible, we need your gracious support to ensure more swimmers can join us and experience this amazing opportunity.
Our Challenge & Your Solution
Travel and lodging costs, especially for Nationals, can be a big financial challenge for our team. With the expenses of driving and overnight stays, it’s not always easy for everyone to join in. To help, we’re working to provide stipends to our swimmers, making it easier for more of our team members to take part in this amazing opportunity.

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 $250. 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 competition accessible to all team members, eliminating financial barriers to participating in any club swim-affiliated event.

Previous Achievements & Future Aspirations
In our last campaign, we raised almost $10,000 and positively impacted over 200 swimmers. At Nationals, we brought 31 participants and achieved remarkable rankings—33rd overall, 20th for women, and 46th for men, out of well over 100 competing teams. We hosted two home meets for 200 swimmers and brought 40 swimmers to an away meet at UC San Diego. Additionally, we catered food and beverages for our end-of-year banquet and hosted our first-ever club swim alumni dinner.
With your continued support, we hope to build on these achievements, making an even greater impact and ensuring that every team member has the opportunity to dive into success. Join us in making a splash for UCLA Club Swimming!
