Annual Giving Campaign

 

Our families’ generosity during the annual AGC drive has a lasting impact on the resources available to our swimmers. Some needs are ongoing, while others are longer-term investments—but all are essential to our program:

  • Facilities & Equipment – Continuing payments for the 2018 scoreboard, touchpads, and blocktops renovation. These upgrades have already provided years of benefits at meets, and Gunderson now boasts one of the best pace clocks around.

  • Swimstrong Dryland – Exclusive online platform for QSS families with educational videos, nutrition guidance, webinars, and form demonstrations. Coaches can provide tailored recommendations, and athletes gain professional-quality support at home.

  • GoSwim (New in 2025) – Video storage and analysis tool for race footage. Families can upload meet videos, track stroke counts/splits, and review with coaches—bringing international-level film study tools to every swimmer.

  • Dryland Enhancements – Pinehurst dryland program, pull-up bars and innovative long-belt tow method at Gunderson, refreshed stretch cords, and ASRC gear bins (replenished every few years)—all made possible through AGC support.
