About

The Hamline’s Men’s and Women’s Swim and Dive program has set a goal of raising $12,000 during Fall Athletics Fundraising week to fund a week long training trip in California. Make your gift today and give Hamline swimmers and divers the competitive edge they need.

The Hamline Swim and Dive program believes in providing an environment that supports and pushes scholar-athletes both in the pool and in the classroom. This year will be our 3rd time heading to California as a team, and the experience for our athletes cannot be overstated. They get the opportunity to train intensely at a top notch swim and dive facility, leaving them in peak condition for the season. At the same time, they get to focus on bonding and supporting one another as a team while also taking a break from campus and rejuvenating for the upcoming semester.

Gifts from family, friends, and alumni have always been essential to the success of swimmers and divers at Hamline. Your gifts in the past have helped us attain our uniforms and moved us towards getting new training equipment to bring our athlete’s to the next level. Please continue this tradition of giving, click the “give now” button, and we look forward to showing you the results of what it means to be a Hamline supporter.

Roll Pipes!!

Any dollars raised more than our goal will go toward enhancing the Hamline Swim and Dive program in upcoming seasons. If the trip is canceled for the team or for an individual player for any reason, donations to this campaign will go toward enhancing the Hamline Swim and Dive program in this and upcoming seasons.
