We have an inspiring team of talented deaf athletes with a dream that you can help make come true. The USA Deaf Swimming (USADS) national team competes internationally at World Deaf Swimming Championships and the Deaflympics. We are dependent upon donations from individuals and organization sponsors to enable us to represent the USA in international events.
Our swimmers come from all over the United States and range in age from 14 to 26. They are all members of USA-Swimming, USADS, and the USA Deaf Sports Federation (USADSF). The USADSF, although an affiliate of the US Olympic Committee (USOC), is not a USOC-funded entity. Able-bodied and Paralympics national team athletes receive training and travel funds, but Deaf swimmers do not. We depend upon YOUR SUPPORT!
Donations will go into USADS general fund to support athlete travel and team programs for participation in World Deaf Swimming Championships and Deaflympic. Donations cannot be designated for a specific athlete.
We are preparing Team USA for the 2021 Summer Deaflympics which was postponed until 1-15 May 2022. Brazil is hosting the Deaflympics in Caxias do Sul, Brazil.
THANK YOU!
