Swim With Mike

Since 1981, the foundation has grown and continually helped challenged athletes by providing financial resources for advanced education.

The Swim With Mike Foundation's Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund is supported by yearly swim-a-thon and other fundraising events across the country. Swim With Mike (SWM) and the Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund (the Fund) were inspired by University of Southern California (USC) All-American swimmer, Mike Nyeholt, who suffered a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) in a motorcycle
