USA Swimming reported that all 317 clubs who submitted applications were awarded COVID-19 Relief Program grants in phase one, which was focused on supporting clubs and members impacted economically by the pandemic (here<\/a>). A total of $1,482,952 will be distributed to the clubs beginning June 1, 2020, on behalf of the USA Swimming Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More USA news<\/a><\/p>\n

The applications, which were submitted between April 28 and May 8, were reviewed by a team of staff, and USA Swimming and USA Swimming Foundation board members.<\/p>\n

Foundation Board Chair Dr. Cecil Gordon<\/strong> said he was\u00a0 incredibly proud of being able to support the relief effort: \u201cThe review team\u2019s feedback revealed that the need is great, and applications were very thoughtful and detail-oriented. The Foundation was given a truly important opportunity to assist the clubs which help affect our mission of saving lives and building champions and we were happy to be able to support our swimming community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Foundation has pledged up to another $1.5M to support phase two of the COVID-19 Relief Program, which will focus on supporting a return to business for clubs. This application process will begin in mid-June. Clubs that received grants in the first round remain eligible to apply for and receive funding in the second round.<\/p>\n
