Join special guest and former Swim with Mike scholarship recipient, Jake Olson, at the 1880 Capital Inaugural Golf Classic benefitting the Swim with Mike Foundation. The classic will be held Friday, November 3, 2023 at the Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda, CA.

Swim With Mike's annual publication, The Yearbook, celebrates the Swim With Mike Family and the work of the foundation. This year we celebrate our 42nd year! Current and alumni scholarship recipients are featured demonstrating the impact Swim With Mike has had on their lives. We invite you to take a closer look at how the Ripple Effect has evolved over the past 42 years.

42 years ago on March 7, 1981, the first-ever "Swim For Mike" was held. The following year, the event was renamed Swim With Mike, and the rest is history! The Ripple Effect has expanded nationwide, offering scholarships to 282 physically challenged athletes attending 148 colleges across 47 states. In the pool, one swimmer creates a ripple and a team makes waves. We wish to thank our generous friends and supporters of Swim With Mike. Thank you for making waves!

The event will be held at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center at USC on Saturday, April 1, 2023. We look forward to seeing you!

Alumni Scholarship Recipient Tyler Hoog graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts with his master's degree and is one of many recipients touched by Swim With Mike's Ripple Effect.

Fall brings the season of giving, thanks, and community- all principles that Swim With Mike was founded on over 42 years ago. In this fall edition of The Wave, we introduce our new scholarship recipients: 12 new recipients from 9 states and Australia, joining 37 returning recipients.
