Swim Melbourne Foundation
Raised: $910,000
Goal: $4,000,000
Our mission is to promote a safe and active lifestyle for children in the sport of swimming by expanding the opportunities in Brevard County.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a state-of-the-art aquatic center in Brevard County. Funds raised will be donated to Swim Melbourne Foundation — a non-profit charity formed to promote the sport of swimming for families in Brevard. Located in Palm Shores, the aquatic center will include a 10-lane competition pool and a 3-lane teaching pool. The competition pool will be the training facility for the Swim Melbourne Mahi age group and masters teams, with a goal to grow the Mahi into national class programs. The teaching pool will attract young families for swim lessons, and host adult fitness, water aerobics, rehabilitation, and triathlon training.
The Swim Melbourne Foundation broke ground on the new Palm Shores Aquatic Center on March 23! The aquatic center is slated to open in 2025, following the Summer Olympics in Paris. To attain our goal we need to raise $4.0 million dollars for construction, with ongoing operational expenses supported by annual memberships. We believe a state-of-the-art aquatic center is a unique opportunity for Brevard to develop the swimming programs that our county deserves. Your support is essential in making this dream become a reality.
Your Next Step
Dear Mahi Sponsor,
My name is Mike Mirda, President of the Swim Melbourne Foundation. I am proud of being a product of great swimming in Brevard and excited about including you in this capital fundraising project. The sport of swimming in Brevard is in dire need of a new facility and an elite USA Swimming club. The new aquatic center will provide Brevard County with a sustainable swim program that aligns with Brevard’s growth plans. Our mission is to promote a safe and active lifestyle for children in the sport of swimming by expanding the opportunities in Brevard County. Supporting our children and families takes an entire community of people with active participation. As a sponsor, you will positively impact the sport of swimming in Brevard. Thank you for helping make the dream come true.
