About

Fuel Piper Power this Spring Athletics Fundraising Week (February 5-9)!

Men and Women's Swim and Dive seeks to raise $5,000 to fund training equipment that we need to keep ourselves competitive. For our dive team we are looking to get a dry board so they can fine tune their approaches. Paired with a spotting rig, we will be able to learn new dives with ease and practice harder ones safely. For our swim team, we are looking to add bucket towers to our training regiment.

And we have a generous anonymous donor is providing a $2,000 dollar for dollar match for the Hamline Swim and Dive team!

Last year, the program broke seven school records and sent the first Hamline scholar-athlete in 15 years to the NCAA Division III Championship! The women’s team was 3rd in the nation for team GPA in all Division III schools and top 10 for all Swim and Dive programs in the nation.

Our goals this year are to continue our NCAA appearance as well as provide the best competition experience for our scholar-athletes. Your gift will directly benefit our program as we continue to evolve and strive for greatness.

Success comes when we all win… Better TOGETHER!
