Swimming & Diving

Giving Day is an opportunity to celebrate the commitment of our strong alumni base along with friends, family and fans of the swim and dive community.  The success at the Horizon League Championships was not possible without the philanthropic and moral support provided to use by the Swim and Dive community.  This year's Giving Day has even more meaning for our community as we honor Mike Lehto in our quest to be the best.  Mike's mindset was "I will get it done" and now it is the opportunity for our swim and dive community, locally, nationally, and internationally to assist us to keep Swimming and Diving strong at Cleveland State University.

Through the generous support of the Swim and Dive community, we have a great opportunity to provide the essentials necessary for our student-athlete well-being programming, team travel, and competitive success.

This year, we are focusing on three main operational areas that directly support our men's and women's swim and dive student-athletes: 

The Transformational Experience to provide the following tools necessary to compete for the championship title!
  • Training Trips 
  • Tech Suits for future Horizon League Championships

Along with that support of our operations, we continue to say thanks to those who contribute to the below scholarship opportunities throughout the year.

Swimming & Diving Scholarships for NOW and the FUTURE. 
  • The Robert F. Busbey Athletic Scholarship (Swimming)
  • The Tom Smolinski Endowed Diving Scholarship 
  • The Frank Tilocco, Jr. Scholarship (Diving)
Please continue to support our endowed scholarships for our current and future Vikings.

Your participation on Giving Day 2025 will help us reach our goal of engaging 440 donors to support our swimmers and divers. Thank you!
