Mission Statement
Our goal is to sustain and to strengthen the athletic prowess of Northwestern Swimming and Diving by building an endowment fund to enhance varsity swimming and diving operating budgets. This will ensure a further competitive swimming and diving program with stronger recruiting capabilities, more positive athletic experiences centered on both athletic and academic excellence and develop a culture of giving with all our swimming and diving alumni.
NU Women's Program Establishes Endowment In Raising $50,000
Northwestern Swimming and Diving held a successful Endowment Campaign kick-off event on January 21, 2012 at the Allen Center on campus. We hosted 120 administrators, coaches, alums, parents and friends for an evening of reflection, celebration and education. Through this initial fundraising effort, NU Women's Swimming and Diving raised $50,000 and is now an official university endowment. It is with true WILDCAT gratitude that we thank everyone who supported our initial efforts in raising $50,000. A BIG THANK YOU to:

NU Women Announce New "Captain's Club"
In order to continue the growth of Endowment, our committee has charged itself to reach out and to receive 100% participation from our alumni group. For this to become a reality, we are unveiling our "Captain's Club" which includes all team captains on record through NU Women's Swimming and Diving history. Our "Captain's Club" members will reconnect with swimming alums to educate as to our Mission and to garner support.
