Swim With A Mission, Inc is a 501c3 nonprofit that raises money for Veterans! We started Swimming with a Mission, Inc. because we needed to do something!

We are frustrated and concerned that our Veterans are being treated so poorly. Our Veterans and their families have given so much and for some, made the ultimate sacrifice. Our Veterans deserve more. We live in the land of the free and the home of the brave BECAUSE of the brave. We believe that we need to do more and so this is what we are doing. We hope that you will join us on this mission to help and honor our Veterans. This organization combine our most fundamental passions. Veterans, Lake living and swimming. What a joy to be able to bring a significant event to the Lakes Region, to showcase the cleanest lake in the Northeast of the United States, that we have been enjoying for more than 30 years. To inspire swimmers and volunteers to join us in a an open water swim across Newfound Lake. To be inspired by the best in class, our quiet heroes that walk amongst us, led by the US Navy SEALs. We are so grateful that our first 5 years were such a great success and are grateful to all of the swimmers, donors, sponsors, volunteers and participants who helped make this Mission victorious! We have an incredible board, advisors and swim committee that are working hard to make year 6 even better. Please join us to do something! Julie and Phil Taub

🇺🇸 SWAM was proud to come out and show our support for the 12th Annual Dan Healy Memorial 5K today!

It was a wonderful morning bringing the community together to honor the life, service, and sacrifice of Senior Chief Petty Officer Dan Healy.

One of the most meaningful moments of the morning was watching Gold Star Mother Natalie Healy kick off the race, reminding everyone why this event means so much. We are forever grateful to Natalie and all Gold Star Families for their strength, sacrifice, and dedication to keeping the legacies of our fallen heroes alive.

It was also great to see Governor Kelly Ayotte join the community in honoring Dan's legacy and supporting this special event.

We're honored to be part of such a meaningful event and stand alongside a community dedicated to ensuring our nation's heroes are NEVER Forgotten.

Congratulations to retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Stephanie Kerrigan, who crossed the finish line at the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C., yesterday, October 25, representing Team SWAM!

Stephanie dedicated more than 24 years to serving our country, beginning her military career with the Maryland Air National Guard in January 2001. She was commissioned as an officer on September 21, 2001, just ten days after the tragic events of 9/11.

After retiring from the military in November 2025, Stephanie continued her spirit of service by taking on 26.2 miles with Team SWAM to raise funds for Veteran Service Organizations providing life-changing programs and resources to our nation’s Veterans and their families.
