USA Deaf Swimming America's Deaf Swim Team. Non-profit established to support competitive swimming among the Deaf. The USA Deaf Swimming, Inc. We depend upon YOUR SUPPORT!

(USADS) is a 501(c)3 that promotes swimming among the deaf community, support coaches and deaf athletes, and forms the deaf national team (Team USA) which represents the United States at World Deaf Swimming Championships and the Deaflympics. We champion deaf participation in competitive swimming with clubs, UIL, and NCAA. We are dependent upon donations from individuals and organization sponsors to enable us to represent the USA in international events. Our board and staff are all volunteers. Our swimmers come from all over the United States and range in age from 13 to 26. They are all members of USA-Swimming, USADS, and the USA Deaf Sports Federation (USADSF). The USADSF, although an affiliate of the US Olympic Committee (USOC), is not a USOC-funded entity. Able-bodied and Paralympics national team athletes receive training and travel funds, but Deaf swimmers do not. For that reason, Team USA must raise ~$120,000 per competition; $6,000 per athlete for training, travel and accommodation expenses for international competition.
