    First, It has only been 14 days since the program has been cut. The University has guaranteed reinstatement if 240,000 is immediately raised for one year of general operating costs,while endowment funds are being raised. The total is now about 200,000. The organization is a 501 3 c non profit corporation and all monies collected will either go to reinstating the program,or the endowment for the program. Simon Percy is the main contact and he will be glad to speak with you about the specifics and you are more than welcome to share your great ideas on how things should be done to save the program. I just came here to this site to get the word out and solicite support for a great program. Not interested in doing anything else but that. ASU needs positive support,commentary and a can do approach. I am a coach and that is what I believe in and practice everyday. The swim team is right in the middle of intense training, meets. etc. in preparation for the Olympics and Olympic Trials. They just had a large meet at their facility and are doing the best they can to prepare websites, get the word at, meet with large donors, the press, recruits,swimmers who are hurt by this, and negotiate a plan with the administration. Donate if you please with the stipulation you want your money back if the program is not brought back. www.saveasuswimming.com. I will speak to the powers that be about the perceived less than adequate web site. There is support for the team, it is just that no one has yet stepped up to be a long term guarantor of funding. I believe it will happen. It has only been 14 days. I believe hard work, faith, goal setting and positive attitude are everything. This is what a coach believes. I am helping get the word out.
