Swimming & Diving

Support UVM Swimming & Diving during Catamount Challenge 2026 and help us reach our $100,000 goal! Make your gift by Monday, October 26, and invest in the next generation of Catamount swimmers and divers.

This year marks a special milestone as we celebrate 50 years of UVM Swimming & Diving! For five decades, our program has brought together generations of student-athletes, coaches, alumni, families, and friends who have helped build the tradition we celebrate today.

As we look ahead to the next 50 years, we're asking our community to come together in support of two important priorities: $50,000 for our Excellence Fund and $50,000 for our Scholarship Fund.

We're also setting ambitious participation goals of 150 alumni donors and 500 total donors! Every gift, regardless of size, brings us closer to those goals and demonstrates the strength of our Swimming & Diving community.

🏊 Swimming & Diving Excellence Fund — $50,000 Goal

The Excellence Fund provides essential support for our swimmers and divers, from travel and equipment to training and other day-to-day program needs. Your contribution gives our coaches the flexibility to address emerging priorities and enhance the student-athlete experience throughout the season and offseason.

🏊 Swimming & Diving Scholarship Fund — $50,000 Goal

Scholarship support is one of our most important tools for recruiting talented swimmers and divers to UVM. In an increasingly competitive recruiting landscape, having dedicated scholarship resources allows us to attract outstanding student-athletes who might otherwise choose another institution.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, your generosity will help ensure that UVM Swimming & Diving continues to thrive for generations to come.

🏆 Help Us Win Additional Funding!

Your gift also helps Swimming & Diving compete against UVM's other varsity teams for up to $5,000 in additional funding!

Teams and programs can win:

• $2,500 for most overall donors
• $1,500 for most dollars raised
• $1,000 for most alumni donors

Any gift of $5 or more counts toward the competition!

There are just two simple rules:

1. One gift per person, per team counts toward the donor competitions, but you can support as many teams as you'd like!
2. Don't make gifts on behalf of others. Instead, become an advocate and spread the word!

No matter which fund you choose, your generosity directly supports UVM Swimming & Diving and helps our student-athletes succeed, both in the pool and in the classroom.

Make your gift today and help us celebrate 50 years of UVM Swimming & Diving while investing in the next 50!

Note: Gifts made during Catamount Challenge do not qualify for Victory Club benefits.
