ABOUT THE HUSKY SWIMMING FOUNDATION
The mission of the Husky Swimming Foundation, in cooperation with various partners, is to foster and preserve aquatic safety and the swimming traditions established in the Pacific Northwest. The goals of the foundations are to support aquatics, build aquatics programs and endow aquatics programs. The Foundation seeks to provide a local collegiate swimming opportunity for our regional age-group swimmers so that they may compete at both national and international levels.
The Husky Swimming Foundation will work towards the following goals:
- Raise funds necessary to provide an annual operating budget for an intercollegiate swimming program at the University of Washington;
- Build and operate a state of the art training and competition facility;
- Create an endowment to provide annual scholarships for the collegiate swimmers at the University of Washington; and
- Support swimming in the Pacific Northwest at all age-group levels.
