Help Save the Sprinters

For over 60 years Springwood Swim Team has fostered youth in athletics, team building

and growth. Contra Costa County children ages 4-18 have enjoyed a love of swimming, healthy

competition, friendship and fun every summer as “Springwood Sprinters.” Every Summer, they

learn every stroke, practice, work hard and compete in several swim meets with other local

swim teams. Our youth looks forward to spending their Summers working hard and having fun

in the sun with their team mates.

Today, we are reaching out to our community for financial support. We are currently

facing a potential shut down and we need your help to Save our Sprinters! The last 3 years

have been rough on our team. Between the pandemic and the rising costs of water and power

our team has fought to remain open and provide services to the youth of Contra Costa County.

We are run solely by volunteer parents, grandparents and friends of the community and those

volunteers will stop at nothing to save our team and pool from closure.

Records have been made at Springwood, lives forever changed from the love of

swimming, and this healthy summer activity has molded youth towards healthy futures. But we

can’t continue without the help of our community.

We have a goal of raising $100,000 by the end of the 2024 season and sadly, if we do not

succeed, we could lose our pool and our team. Will you help us Save our Sprinters so they can

enjoy many more years of swim team as well as the youth to come? We are an IRS approved

nonprofit and our tax ID number is 94-1688536. Thank you so much for your consideration.
