The Champions Achieve Challenge

Goal Achieved! In just the first two days of the Champions Achieve Challenge, our incredible swim and dive community has pushed us over our $10,000 goal. We are so incredibly grateful for your support and cannot wait to get to work on growing our program.

However, since there are still four more days to go, we hope that you will consider helping us push even higher. We are setting our sights now to $20,000 to provide even more resources to our team. Join us! Thank you and Go Ags!!”

The achievements of UC Davis student-athletes speak for themselves, and our community of alumni, fans, and friends of the Aggies should all be proud of what they achieved in 2021-2022: 

• 3 Conference Championship teams 
• 3 Coach-of-the-Year Honors 
• 11 All-American Selections 
• 46 All-Conference Selections 
• 203 Academic All-Conference Selections

All of these were possible due to the remarkable efforts of our coaches, staff, university support and DONORS, like you. Contributions to our sport teams make an enormous difference in our ability to recruit, train, and prepare our student-athletes for competition and life after UC Davis. Your gift will immediately impact our team in a number of areas including but not limited to, optimized travel, enhanced fueling opportunities at Schaal, readily available recovery tools and occasional meals to name a few.

Traveling a team of our size isn't easy and allowing our women to be comfortable while on the road is essential to peak performance. Whether our women are studying, resting, or enjoying each other's company, we want to provide the most optimal travel conditions possible. We also want to follow the lead of our sports performance department and provide food along with liquid recovery options (protein, Gatorade, etc) for before and after training and competition. Our Aggies are busy as they head from practice to class, and we want them to know they have options at Schaal should their day not allow for the perfect meal. Your gift will provide additional recovery tools like normatec, percussive/percussion devices, foam rollers, etc. We hope to see our women arrive early or stay back after practice and take time to stretch and recover and having several tools in our team room would encourage these opportunities and alleviate the need to go to the Athletic Training Room for standard treatment. Finally, we value our team gatherings and would love to offer at least one team meal per quarter so our swimmers and divers can come together away from class and training and enjoy each other's company. Putah Creek has served as an excellent team meal tradition and we would like to be able to offer that experience more than just once a year.

Thank you for supporting Swimming & Diving and helping to fund our greatest needs!
