Our Mission

The purpose of the Swim with Purpose Fund is to raise $1 million dollars to support the reestablishment of the indoor pool facility at the Exum Center for the community to utilize for healthy lifestyle and therapy. Programs will be created by the University and the Frankfort YMCA to break generational stigmas and create a safe and teachable atmosphere for children, college students and adults. This fund will also establish a self-sustaining fund for ongoing maintenance and programs while partnering with the community with programs and facilities.

This is where we're starting

Statement of Support from Michael Phelps

I, Michael Phelps, support Swim With Purpose’s mission and their efforts to renovate and reopen the aquatic center at Kentucky State University, an HBCU. It’s wonderful to see people and organizations coming together to make a difference in underserved communities. I hope that Swim With Purpose is able to reach its fundraising goal and that the renovated aquatic center can make a positive impact on the lives of those who benefit from it.
