Help Send Kevin to World University Games 2023

Hello everyone!

I am honored to announce that I have been chosen to represent the U.S. in the upcoming World University Games in Chengdu, China. This international competition brings together university athletes from around the world, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and sportsmanship between elite student-athletes. The U.S. delegation will comprise approximately 300 athletes competing in 18 different sports. In total, there will be more than 10,000 student-athletes from at least 100 different countries, and more than 300 million people will tune in to watch the games live.

Swimming has played a purposeful role in shaping my life, initially sparked by a doctor’s recommendation to alleviate my asthma. Since then, my passion for competitive swimming has grown with the support of Bainbridge Island Swim Club and Northwestern University, presenting me with opportunities to compete at the highest levels of this sport. I have previously represented Team USA at the World Junior Championships and Duel in the Pool, and am a current member of the US National Team. Unlike other competitions, which are fully funded by USA Swimming, this year’s games place the funding responsibility in the hands of the athletes.

My goal is to raise $3,500 to cover the costs associated with participating in this event, including game fees, travel, and meals. I am incredibly grateful for any support you can provide to help me represent the U.S. on the global stage at one of my dream competitions.

If you have any questions or want to know more personally, please feel free to reach out!

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kevin Houseman
