UCLA Artistic Swimming 2025-26

Who we are

UCLA Artistic Swimming (AS) is a student-run and entirely student-funded organization founded in 2021. Under the guidance of our dedicated volunteer coaches, Jennifer Beckwith, Audra Arbas, and Karen Rosolowski, our athletes spend countless hours inside and outside the pool to represent UCLA at the national level. Our commitment and passion show in our results: each year the team has qualified routines to Collegiate Nationals, and we are proud to say we have been the #1 club team in the nation for the past three years. 

As we enter this new season, we are still focused on qualifying for the 2026 Collegiate Nationals and also expanding our program to include novice athletes with little to no prior experience. Achieving these goals, would not be possible without the continued support of our community and supports.

Overall, 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

Without immediate donor support, the clubs' ability to continue beyond this season is at risk. The cost of competing against fully funded D1 teams such as Stanford and Ohio State University over the years has added up, and our team needs help covering funding for this season and beyond. 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!
