Athletics: Swimming & Diving Team - Florida Trip
Support a Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving team training trip to Florida.

About this project:

Delaware Men’s and Women’s Swimming & Diving programs are incredibly grateful for donor support each year that allows us to continue our annual trip to Florida Gulf Coast Aquatic Center over the holiday break. This year, we will travel from December 28, 2025, through January 2, 2026. This trip is a huge highlight of our year and a key factor in our postseason success, providing uninterrupted training in a milder climate during a crucial training block before championship season. It allows our teams to bond together while practicing outdoors and having some fun to break up the grueling training sessions. This year, we also look forward to competing against Florida Gulf Coast University and Southern Methodist University during our time in Florida.

The trip would not be possible without the continued support of alumni, family, and friends of the men’s and women’s swimming & diving programs. The total cost of the trip is $80,000, which includes pool and gym rental fees, bus transportation, meals, flights and lodging for the men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams.
