We share the following pages as our Annual Report for 2023 and as a culmination to our first four-year, Golden Opportunity Campaign.

The years 2020-2023 were full of notable accomplishments, challenging times and growth.

When we launched the $2.3M Golden Opportunity Campaign in the fall of 2019, we had big goals to develop workforce vocational programming that would fuel the local aquatics industry with lifeguards and swim instructors. Our organization was growing rapidly and building momentum.

We were going to increase the regional Learn-toSwim program by 50% and secure its endorsement from Henrico County.

Making a difference using aquatics as our vehicle for change is our constant motivational driver.

While 2021 and 2022 were marked by rebuilding our programs and impact. In the background, we also put into motion a sustainable growth model with the development of two new SwimRVA facilities. Our efforts (1) in Northside, at a former recreational facility — now SwimRVA-North — provided for service delivery starting in 2021 and (2) at SwimRVA-Meadowbrook in Chesterfield County resulted in a year-round aquatics center in 2023. We also stewarded breakthroughs in public investment in aquatics with the creation and opening of the Frank J. Thornton Aquatics The COVID-19 pandemic charted a different path. Center in Eastern Henrico, a development that also launched Learn-to-Swim efforts throughout We shut our doors, furloughed the staff, and the county and completed a 12 jurisdiction provided no programming for three months.

We pioneered new neighborhood based aquatics expansion, taught teaching methodologies and gave the industry us the critical lesson to build trust by listening confidence on how to safely engage in aquatics. first to the needs of our community.

in our region. The initiative that we launched in Church Hill — the East End Continuum — serves as a pilot for what will become our engagement strategy across six jurisdictions in the region.

The SwimRVA Continuum is a centerpiece of our 2027 Smart Growth Strategic plan adopted at the conclusion of 2023. It is guiding our journey of inclusive service for the next four years and completes the promise of the 2020-2023 Golden Opportunity Campaign.

Although the last four years were tumultuous, they reset the stage for the meteoric growth of SwimRVA. In our second decade of operations, we are 5x the size of the original vision for the organization, serving six jurisdictions and inspiring water safety, aquatic fitness, and facility excellence nationally from our home in RVA. This impact was made possible by YOU — our steadfast supporters. As demonstrated by the newly established Courtney Moates Paulk Legacy Circle, you inspire us and enable us to build our programs and outreach to realize the full potential of our mission. YOU made the stories in the following pages possible and YOU will continue to rewrite the complicated history of aquatics in our community to one of inclusion, possibility, confidence, employment, and joy.

Where we go next is going to be incredible.

Flywheels deliver a constant, continuous power from a pulsating source. YOU are at the heart of that source. SwimRVA’s successes in the pages that follow are because the community came together in countless ways to drive opportunity and aquatic access.

The flywheel celebrates that it is not a single intervention or initiative that drives change but rather a cumulative and continual effect that, once rolling, has tremendous impact.

In 2019, SwimRVA operated out of one location in Chesterfield county. Now, in 2024, we have four locations across the region and two partner locations to serve six regional jurisdictions — all are beginning to spin the flywheel, magnifying the scale and scope of our work.

The potential and possibility is beyond tremendous with each revolution of the flywheel as the impact grows from neighborhood, to county, to region and beyond.

FLYWHEEL FRAMEWORK In the fall of 2019 SwimRVA launched the Golden Opportunity Campaign identifying four key goals that define and drive our organization and our impact: (1) Save Lives (2) Empower Tomorrow’s Workforce (3) Inspire Healthy Communities (4) Transform the Region. This report celebrates the incredible success that truly exemplifies our mission, TO CHANGE LIVES THROUGH AQUATICS.

LEARNTO-SWIM

SwimRVA’s Learn-to-Swim program is a monumental effort to make the community safer and healthier by providing cost-free swim lessons to under-resourced public schools targeting youth who otherwise might not have the opportunity to Learn-to-Swim.

We are part of a regional collaboration that aims to serve 152 schools across 12 jurisdictions.

SwimRVA works with partner pools to deliver programming together (Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, Virginia State University and Hopewell Recreation and Parks) and, together with our flagship facility, provide seven cost-free weekly lessons, designed to enable every child to swim 15 feet unassisted. Over the last decade, we have served over 15,000 children through this program which has grown to serve Chesterfield County, Colonial Heights, Hopewell City and in 2022, Prince George County. In 2024, we again expanded to reach all five elementary schools in Richmond’s East End, adding the City of Richmond to SwimRVA’s robust effort to drownproof the entire region.

EAST END SWIMS Since 2019, SwimRVA has collaborated with the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club, Anna Julia Cooper School, Peter Paul Development Center, and Church Hill Academy to provide cost-free, year-round swimming in Richmond’s East End, building safety and health equity in this important, emerging neighborhood.

FROM BIG DREAM TO SWIM TEAM Less than two years after opening the renovated pool at the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club and amid a global pandemic, a big dream came to fruition: the East End neighborhood’s first swim team. Thirteen students at Anna Julia Cooper School — a full-tuition scholarship school for students of limited resources — joined the team.

At only six years of age, Mason started swim lessons through SwimRVA’s program in collaboration with the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club. At first, he was terrified. He wasn’t tall enough to stand in the shallow end of the pool. His swim instructors patiently worked with him, and much to his surprise, he discovered that he loves being underwater. Mason worked tirelessly to advance his skills and says that he wants to join the swim team when he graduates from swim lessons.

SAVE LIVES

Children with autism are naturally drawn to water, making swimming an appealing activity, but also a real risk. 90% of wandering-related deaths in the autism community are caused by drowning.

SwimRVA’s carefully-designed program, led by instructors trained in Autism Spectrum Disorder, creates confidence-building experiences that turn a dangerous relationship with water into a positive, therapeutic one that lasts a lifetime. Swimming further offers numerous advantages for children with ASD because water has a calming effect and does not create the sensory overload issues some children experience in other settings. In addition to the health benefits swimming provides for everyone, it presents children with ASD the ability to improve balance and motor movement, decrease interrupted stereotypic behaviors, improve social competence, and enjoy the emotional nourishment of acceptance.

At the end of every lesson, it is a goal achieved. Coaches like Jacob and this environment are so important... I don’t have words.

SWIM LESSONS IN TOTAL:

SwimRVA offers swim lessons for all ages and levels. At SwimRVA, we use seven stations to guide our swim students through a proven curriculum. Once a student masters a station, they get to ring the SwimRVA Bell of Success, receiving a joyous response from our instructors, the other participants and observing parents.

NICKY’S STORY – THRIVING IN THE WATER Water has a surprisingly strong pull on kids with autism. For families, this can bring fear whenever there’s a pool, creek, or beach around.

That was what first brought Wayne and his son, Nicky, to the SwimRVA Autism Swims program, but it very quickly grew into something much more.

Wayne shared: “Coach Jacob has connected with Nicky just in the way that Nicky understands - whether verbally or nonverbally ... Nicky will do anything for him and he enjoys every minute of it... Swimming is a big part of his routine now; he’s socializing better, he’s interacting with people and situations he’s never seen before. I don’t know a child with autism that isn’t drawn to water.... It’s vital they learn to swim to some degree to keep themselves safe.”

Making programs accessible

SwimRVA is building social bridges through aquatics that cross physical, racial, and economic barriers. Making aquatics accessible is central to why we are here. One of the ways we do this is by offering significant financial aid to families with gross annual incomes below 300% of the federal poverty guidelines. Depending on qualifying income level, SwimRVA covers between 60-80% of program fees to ensure all of our programs are financially accessible.

SAFETY SCHOOL

For a community to empower itself through aquatics, it first has to feel safe in the water. And safety starts with lifeguards. At SwimRVA, we teach future lifeguards to create and maintain safe environments for swimmers of all ability levels, creating more opportunity and access for everyone.

SwimRVA has also created an academy for training instructors; we serve as the Central Virginia hub for professional rescuer and instructor training. We offer certification courses throughout the year.

LIFEGUARD SCHOOL

Our pioneering workforce program, launched in 2019, is designed to take high school students— especially youth of color— from little swim ability to certified lifeguards, preparing youth to enter the workforce with skills leading to livable wages.

Our Lifeguard School has grown to partner with Church Hill Academy and Hopewell Recreation and Parks as well as Chesterfield and Henrico Counties serving students at Carver, Hermitage and Bird High Schools. We are planning for expansion across Richmond City Public Schools.

CARSHA CREATES NEW WAVES As a student at Franklin Military Academy, Carsha was thrilled to discover that there was a pool at the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club and looked forward to her weekly lessons.

Before becoming a swimmer, she didn’t get much exercise but now she reaps the benefits and feels refreshed after swimming. Only two years after learning to swim, she became a certified lifeguard. Unlike anyone else in her family. Carsha has always been drawn to water and interested in teaching and saving lives.

She’s been working as a lifeguard at a City of Richmond pool and looks forward to studying Business Management in college.

FROM STUDENT TO TEACHER Mason grew up swimming in the James River, but was rarely around pools that were lifeguarded, and never considered becoming a lifeguard as a job opportunity. When Mason started in the Carver College and Career Academy Lifeguard School program as a high school sophomore in the Spring of 2019, he experienced a lot of self-doubt. With the encouragement of his teachers and classmates, Mason honed his skills and built his confidence and months later Mason started working parttime at SwimRVA as a professional rescuer.

He worked mostly evening and weekend hours, since he was still in school. SwimRVA’s management encouraged Mason to take a Lifeguard Instructor course, so that he could learn how to teach others to become lifeguards and ultimately even teach in the program at Carver Lifeguard School where he received his Lifeguard Certification. Mason now serves as a full time Life Safety Coordinator at SwimRVA.

BUILDING SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE

This job has taught me that if I set my mind to something, I can work for it and achieve my goals.

– MASON GALLEGOS LIFE SAFETY COORDINATOR

Beginning in 2019, SwimRVA’s Lifeguard School joined forces with the Advanced Career Education (ACE) Center, to give students in Henrico County the opportunity to gain training in their aspired career fields. ACE Sports Medicine teacher Bobbi Southard noted “there are a bunch of kids in Henrico County that have never had the opportunity to Learn-to-Swim.” We are changing that. Even more, by giving ACE students the chance to learn lifeguarding skills we enhance their abilities in multiple professions within sports medicine, the recreation industry and more. As the demand for lifeguards continues to grow, it is crucial that, as a community, we work together to expand aquatics as a field in workforce development. Thanks to the ACE Center at Hermitage and SwimRVA, Richmond’s barriers to aquatics are shrinking every day.

A lot of people at SwimRVA helped Mason get to where he is today. It was never just about teaching him to swim or to become a lifeguard; it has been about supporting Mason as he fully recognized the possibilities and achieved his goals.

Physical activity has tremendous benefits that improve overall health, including mental wellbeing, and reduce the risk of, or even prevent, chronic disease.

The SwimRVA Rapids Water Polo program is Richmond’s first USA Water Polo club in the region and is just the second in the state of Virginia. This unique aquatic sport challenges young people physically, emotionally, and socially. It is a mixture of swimming, soccer, wrestling, and basketball. As a whole, water polo can only be successful as a team. This sportsmanship-focused atmosphere has helped teach young athletes discipline, respect, and healthy competition. The team emphasizes toughness, health, hard work, positivity, and social skills while preparing players for the NCAA and beyond. Since 2020, the Water Polo team has had several athletes excel beyond the walls of the aquatics center.

Artistic swimming creates a gracefully unique experience for those participating, as well as those watching. This sport requires meticulous attention to detail and precise technique.

SwimRVA Rapids Artistic Swimming program began in 2020 creating a symphony of skills and powerful team building experiences. The team began competing in 2022, dazzling audiences with their spectacular routines.

James McRae has proven the meaning of community through aquatics, earning the Lynhaven School Athlete of the Year, Trailblazer Award, and Impact award for his commitment and passion. James also won the 2023 Justin Dingham Scholarship award. He is currently a Lifeguard with SwimRVA and a member of the USA Water Polo National Junior Team.

Petar Stjepanovich, another SwimRVA standout, was SwimRVA’s first water polo collegiate athlete when he committed to the University of the Pacific, a Division 1 top 25 college water polo program in 2023.

HEADS Comprehensive swim training for adults SwimRVA Hammerheads is a swim training program for adults that includes everything from stroke technique for beginners to open water interval sessions and demanding pool workouts for experienced swimmers.

Two signature events for the Hammerheads include the New Year’s Challenge and the DownRiver Rip. Both of these events raise funds for our Drownproof Richmond initiative.

New Year’s Challenge The 2023 SwimRVA New Year’s Challenge marked the 10th anniversary of the event which is all about setting goals, pushing limits, and starting the new year off with a splash. Many families ended and started the new year together helping each other to meet their goals. 76 yearold Geraldine was ready to quit at 15, but made her goal of 20 when her grandson showed up and said “You have to want it.”

DownRiver Rip This fast-paced swim is one of Richmond’s premier open water events. Participants are challenged to swim down river, with the fast current, to Robious Landing in either a 4.4-mile or 2.5-mile swim. Over 70 swimmers participated in 2023, raising $12,000 for SwimRVA’s cost-free Learn-to-Swim program for second graders in the region. Living in the River City while also being so close to lakes, pools, and oceans, it is imperative that every child has access to these water safety skills.

Winter Open H20 Our Winter Open Water program started as a response to drownings in multi-sport races in the James River. In the winter we now teach open water skills in our 50m competition pool reformed as an open water course. We reach beginning swimmers weekly over three months to prepare for spring and summer races.

TOURISM In 2023 alone, Swim RVA generated $7 Million in economic impact Our flagship facility in Chesterfield—featuring the 2008 US Olympic Trials pool as its centerpiece—has become the nexus of proactive, inclusive aquatic efforts uplifting the region and turning Richmond into one of the most exciting swimming hubs of the eastern seaboard. We have hosted every major competition east of the Ohio valley. More than just bidding for these respected and influential competitions, SwimRVA

uniquely is also creating our own competitions that have draw up and down the coast – including East Coast Winterfest, Shamrock Showdown, and Commonwealth Cup. It is ultra-rare to have a premiere organization like SwimRVA which can offer the facility, the programming, and the reputation to build its own events. All together, these events have given Richmond a powerful prominence in competitive aquatics.

SwimRVA creates its own events popular along the Eastern Seaboard. They include:

TRANSFORM THE REGION

SwimRVA has created a brand that is nationally recognizable for aquatic excellence.

USA Swimming and U.S. Masters Swimming have trusted SwimRVA to host the nation’s most prominent contests. Richmond is routinely selected because of the collaborative relationship with local jurisdictions and Richmond Region Tourism. In 2022, SwimRVA hosted the first aquatics national championship in the Commonwealth with the U.S. Masters National Championship.

LOOKING BACK, FOCUSING FORWARD

REFLECTION Turning a time to get better into a time to be better Whether it is access to healthcare, education, jobs, food or safe places to exercise—too many of our neighbors are without opportunities to be healthy. Moreover, communities are divided – too often siloed along racial and economic lines that echo historical injustices. A global pandemic only made a troubling picture worse. At SwimRVA, we took this historical moment to catapult forward, building health equity in our region.

The COVID-19 pandemic temporarily shuttered our doors in March 2020. While we were not operating swimming programs, we never stopped working for our community. SwimRVA led the industry workgroup on its collaboration with the State of Virginia and the Virginia Department of Health to define and implement

37

SwimRVA

a full regime of pandemic safety protocols for aquatics.

We created a 112-page reopening guide that became a model for industry partners through reopening three months later. SwimRVA led the design of lane dividers, teaching poles and breathable teaching masks. We opened a virtual teaching center and SwimRVA Elementary, an on-site teaching center where children learned together virtually with in-person tutors and safe aquatics programming. SwimRVA wrote a manual for operating swim meets safely that was recognized nationally.

The efforts resulted in SwimRVA bringing the Toyota U.S. Open, TYR Pro Swim Series, USA Swimming Super Sectional, USA Swimming Futures and every Virginia Swimming state championship to Richmond.

During the pandemic drowning rates increased 29%. The SwimRVA Swim School was the first locally to begin serving our region with critical Learn-to-Swim programming. With the American Red Cross, we piloted lifeguard

certification through the exclusive use of mannequins. Techniques which today have become best practice in our vocational training programs.

LOOKING BACK, FOCUSING FORWARD

PANDEMIC

The role of aquatics in community building became more apparent than ever. Through the pandemic, SwimRVA laid the foundation for our service goals as we capped our first decade of service to the Richmond region in 2022.

MODEL Building a drownproof Richmond and pathways for employment Beginning in FY2024, we piloted a groundbreaking continuum in Richmond’s East End that aims to reach across the school-age years: introducing fundamental water safety in the public elementary schools, building health and recreation in the after-school hours, developing

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

HIGH SCHOOL AND BEYOND There is a nationwide shortage of lifeguards.

By staffing public pools, we can employ young people who can help to support their families and open summertime neighborhood resources for exercise and recreation.

There are also year-round employment opportunities at SwimRVA.

Distilling our passion and strengths into clear, galvanizing goals SwimRVA seeks to continue to break down barriers and open lifelong possibilities through aquatic access in the Richmond region. Our new strategic plan emphasizes our vision to drownproof Richmond, seeking to ensure that every person in the Richmond region knows how to swim for lifelong enjoyment of the water.

With a strong focus on serving people who don’t otherwise know how to swim and a desire to grow our positioning on the national stage for hosting major events that fuel sports tourism in the region, we have identified the following four strategic goals:

39

SwimRVA

1) Hardwire Financial Sustainability – to ensure long-term service delivery to the Richmond region through aquatics and foster incremental regional expansion.

2) Elevate Brand Impact – to eliminate drownings and change lives through advocacy and policy change.

3) Deepen the Talent Pool – by building workforce development programs and supporting the people who drive and sustain our impact.

4) Strengthen Operational Excellence – to be a national leader with respect to facilities management, safety, air, and water quality and continuous service improvement rooted in a growth-based mindset.
