“Raymierik is a special needs child and comes from a single parent household. He had tried unsuccessfully to learn how to swim through many different programs. He finally found the right fit in the program. Since the summer, he has continued to blossom in the pool. The successful component in particular has shown him how to set goals, not just in the water, but in his personal life as well. Where he let his disability stop him in the past, he is now on a mission to help out around the Clubhouse as much as possible. He is learning to look beyond his disability and help others.” im instructor, Boys & Girls Club Madison Square (Bronx, NY)

Michael Phelps President and Founder

F O U N d E R M E S S A g EDespite what some believe, when I first entered the pool I did not swim the butterfly stroke gracefully from end-to-end. Like most of our program participants, I was afraid. In fact, I started swimming on my back because I didn’t like to get my face wet. And because I had someone to encourage me, who understood the importance of water safety, I developed a comfort level for the water. The more time I spent in the water, the stronger I became and my passion for the sport grew. Swimming provided me the opportunity to stay healthy, while learning about hard work, determination, and setting goals. I’m proud to say these principles guided me through my career and are the foundation to our im program.

Over the past year, we were able to expand im in the Boys & Girls Clubs by 75%, introducing thousands of children to water-safety instruction, as well as healthy living and goal-setting education. We heard countless stories about the positive impact im had on communities, but one particular really sticks out that shows the type of impact your support is helping us achieve that I would like to share with you.

Like the majority of our program participants, seven-year-old William from Knoxville,TN, came from a single parent household afraid of the water and unable to swim. At a young age, a cousin pushed William in the water unaware that he could not swim. The memory kept him out of the water for years. After hearing about im, William was determined to face his fears and signed up for the program at the Tennessee Valley Boys & Girls

Clubs. He learned lifesaving water skills and quickly progressed through the program. Quickly, the pool soon became a safe place for William to set and achieve his goals while overcoming a major fear. Around the same time, William’s father re-entered his life only to be taken away by a violent crime a couple miles from the club. But William showed great courage and prevalence and returned to the club three days later because he “wanted to swim”.

His story inspired me and was a great reminder that it’s not just about swimming. It’s about being safe in the water, overcoming fears, and having a healthy life. After hearing his story, I was inspired and wanted to meet William and was able to with the help of our friends at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and P&G. William boarded an airplane for the first time and arrived in Omaha during Olympic Trials. And it didn’t stop there; P&G flew him to the 2012 Olympics in London where he was able to see me swim my last race and I was able to present William with the “Confidence Award”. It was an incredible experience for us both.

William is just one example of the thousands of kids we are successfully reaching through our relationship with Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Special Olympics International. Your support is making a big difference and for that I thank you.

Queensland, Australia and received her Medal. Abbey has a chromosone disease, Cri Du Chat

& Autism, this program has given her a sense of achievement to reach her goals and immense pride which she doesn’t always get through main stream

swimming. Abbey also received news last Friday she had been selected for the Special Olympic Australia

Junior National Games 2012. Thank you so very much for introducing such a great program

for children with special needs.” Mother of program participant

“Smith has Downs Syndrome and is very stubborn. We both can get very

frustrated and learning is always a challenge. We have tried other learn-to -swim classes but

had negative experiences and little success. So, naturally we were apprehensive to enroll in the Young Athletes program. However, a friend of mine told me her child participated in safe and was seeing great results. We are so happy that we enrolled. We love the water. All I can say is THANK YOu MICHAEL PHELPS!”

“What we learn through the program is that it’s not only learning to swim, but it’s also learning what to do outside of the pool. It’s learning that to be a good swimmer you have to watch your weight, you have to eat the right foods. It’s really a comprehensive program for our athletes to not only to become great swimmers but to lead more healthy and active lifestyles. I think the end product will be that we will have a lot more people in the pool, a lot more athletes swimming and being successful.” Peter Wheeler, Chief, Strategic Properties, Special Olympics

Michael Phelps Foundation helped establish Level Field Fund - Swimming in 2010, a grant giving program

offering financial assistance to talented swimmers in need.

In 2012, Level Field Fund - Swimming awarded ten grants totaling $17,435. Grants ranged from $1,000 to $2,890 to help

promising athletes with training and competition needs they would have not been able to afford.

“For me, competition experience has been the greatest way to learn and

improve as an athlete. Level Field Fund provides funding for promising athletes

to have these necessary experiences which they might not have been able

to afford otherwise. Last year, Level Field Fund enabled me, among others, to concentrate on being the best I can

be without having to worry as much about funding my competition schedule

and now I’m on the National Team and competing in my first Olympics.” Alex Meyer, Level Field Fund-Swimming recipient and first athlete from the u.S.

to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics)
