Butte YMCA Swim Club Awarded the 2026 MT Swimming Fall Reach Out Grant

The Montana Swimming Reach Out Grant Committee is please to announce that the Butte YMCA Swim Club has been awarded the 2026 Montana Swimming Fall Reach Out grant in the amount of $2500. BYSC plans to use the funds to purchase backstroke ledges to provide additional opportunities to swimmers in Butte and across the state. 

The reach out grant is awarded each fall and spring. Montana Swimming teams may apply. The funds are to be used to benefit low income athletes, minorities, swimmers with disabilities or LGBTQ athletes. Several teams in the state have been awarded the funds and have provided swim lessons to low income youth, purchased training equipment, provided scholarship opportunities, paid for meet fees and meet travel for low income athletes, paid for additional coach training, and multiple teams were provided with external strobes for starting hearing impaired swimmers.

Congratulations Butte YMCA Swim Club!!
