On July 12, I’ll be diving into Newfound Lake for a 1K open water swim as part of the 9th Annual Swim With A Mission (SWAM)!
• Last year, my daughters and I completed our first 1K swim — no wetsuits this year!
• We raised over $4,000 for Veterans and are aiming even higher with our “Rye’d the Wave” team.
• SWAM has donated nearly $11.5 million since 2017 to support mental health, housing, scholarships, PTSD care, and more for Veterans.

Donations to Rachel Forbes, and Cordelia or Elise Kroll all pool to "Rye’d the Wave" to support SWAM.
Swim With A Mission
On July 12th, Swim With A Misson is excited to hold it’s 9th Annual Event which consists of competitive swim races. Participants can choose to participate in a 1K, 5K, 10K or 10K Team Relay swim at Wellington State Park in Bristol, NH. There is also an Honor The Fallen and End The Stigma Memorial 5K Team Swim as well.
All participants are encouraged to raise funds that will go to support Veterans who need our help more than ever. Go to swam.org for more details.
Since being founded in 2017, Swim With A Mission has given almost $11.5 Million to service and support organizations that provide critical services to our Veterans.
Every year, SWAM focuses on important needs in the Veterans community and provides grants to worthy Veteran service and support programs. Each organization submits an application for a grant so we can consider how the money we raise each year can make the most impact in the community. The recipient of the grants provide services and support including mental health services, scholarships for children of a parent who died in service, taking care of homeless Veterans, providing rides and financial assistance to Veterans, providing health care services to Veterans, providing permanent housing for Veterans, K9’s for Veterans, and help with PTSD.
