We are grateful to see more attention being brought to this issue. IRSC's swimming and diving programs represent decades of championship success, life-changing educational opportunities and a legacy that deserves to continue. With the Board of Trustees scheduled to consider the proposed athletic restructuring plan on October 27, now is the time to make our voices heard.

📢 HOW YOU CAN HELP:
❤️ Sign the petition.
📲 Share it with former teammates, coaches, friends, family and the wider swimming community.
📧 Contact the IRSC Board of Trustees and respectfully ask them to reconsider the proposal.
🌎 Help us reach more athletes, alumni, Olympians and supporters.

IMPORTANT DONATION CLARIFICATION: Donations made through Change.org do not go toward our efforts to save IRSC Swimming and Diving. Those donations support Change.org and its platform, not our campaign. Signing and sharing the petition are the most direct ways to support our cause.

We are fighting for the current athletes, the alumni who helped build this legacy, and the future generations who deserve the opportunity to be part of it.

Let's keep the momentum going and show IRSC how much these programs mean to us. Together, we can make a difference. 💙
