Mission

Alaska Swimming promotes competitive swimming by inspiring excellence and empowering its members to succeed.

What it reported doing in 2024

Provide assistance to members participating in state and national championship swim meets including Western Zone Championships. Assistance includes equipment, meet fees, lodging, meals, and transportation for athletes, coaches and chaperones. The Organization's membership totals over 2,800 athletes, coaches and officials.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
