| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1: | Mission statement (continued): Whether providing grant funding to members of our lesson provider network, supporting the dreams of National Team members, or growing the sport in traditionally underserved populations, the Foundation is proud to serve as the philanthropic arm of USA Swimming. Swimming is the only sport that can save a life, and our work is critical towards making the sport an equitable space. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A: | Saving Lives - Learn-to-Swim Initiative (continued): In 2021, that mission was expanded when U.S. Masters Swimming (USMS) moved its fundraising efforts for adult learn-to-swim programs from its USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation to the USA Swimming Foundation. Bringing all learn-to-swim fundraising efforts under the USA Swimming Foundation umbrella is creating greater generational impact by providing swim lessons to all ages. With the help of a network of more than 1,600 swim lesson providers and water safety advocates across the country, USA Swimming and the USA Swimming Foundation educate parents through a national awareness campaign, save lives by supporting free and reduced-cost programming and share with millions the lifesaving skill of swimming. Each year, in an effort to raise national awareness of the importance of learning to swim, the USA Swimming Foundation embarks on the Make-a-Splash Tour presented by Phillips 66. The annual tour is designed to educate the public about the importance of the lifesaving skill of swimming and how to continue water safety education in a safer way. The Tour has visited more than 60 U.S. cities since 2008. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B: | Building Champions - National Team (continued): Travel, physical therapists, strength trainers, nutritionists, sports psychologists and other experts are essential for peak physical performance, mental wellness and positive team culture. The USA Swimming Foundation provides financial support to members of the USA Swimming National Team for the continued growth and development of those who set the world standard for excellence in the pool year after year. One of the premiere programs fostered by the USA Swimming Foundation is the Donor Athlete Partnership Program. This mentorship program focuses on athlete support in and out of the pool. By investing in leadership development, networking, career exploration and development, investors in this program support athletes with transition services and planning for life after swimming. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4c | Building Champions - Impacting Communities (continued): Through the Community Impact Grant program, USA Swimming aims to grow a diverse community of champion athletes by creating competitive opportunities within diverse communities. Grant dollars are utilized for learn-to-swim programming, scholarships, technology, equipment and administrative support. By investing in Historically Black Colleges and Universities, we aim to revitalize aquatic programming within these diverse communities by supporting new water safety education and competitive opportunities. Grant dollars are utilized for learn-to-swim programming, club travel expenses, technology and equipment and administrative support. Community Swim Teams aim to grow USA Swimming membership by partnering with municipal and recreational departments throughout the U.S. to provide athletes with membership resources and competitions, to offer municipal coaches access to education, professional development and introduce a new diverse population of families, athletes and coaches to USA Swimming. |
