PROVIDING THE LANE TO A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR Nicaraguan YOUTH IN NEED
Founded in 2014 by three former collegiate swimmers, our mission is to empower underserved youth in Nicaragua through the sport of swimming and educational advancement.
Who are the Nicas Nads?
Nica Nadadores, or Spanish for “Nicaraguan swimmers”, is a competitive swim club, community service vehicle, and most importantly, a SCHOLARSHIP INITIATIVE.
Every aspect of our organization aligns meticulously with our mission. We push student-athletes daily to lead, improve, and aspire in the pool, classroom, and in their community.
Nica Nadadores is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization that relies on financial contributions from supporters in the United States and abroad.
What do we do?
We run daily swim practices, conduct monthly community service activities, and mentor on life skills and leadership. However, Nica Nadadores is primarily recognized for the support offered through our SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. Committed student-athletes receive ACADEMIC FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE to study at top performing private schools and universities in Managua, Nicaragua.
Our network of coaches, educators, donors, and volunteers work in collaboration to make a QUALITY IMPACT on youth from communities with high rates of poverty. Our goal is to help student-athletes reach their full potential by showing that their progress and success in the pool is transferable to the classroom and beyond.
¡Nacidos en Nica Nadadores!
“¡Nacido en Nica Nadadores!" or "Born in Nica Nadadores!" has become a battle cry for our team. They are enormously proud of the team culture and academic reputation they have established.
Get involved
Our team and our community are a FAMILY. You don’t have to be a swimmer to get involved with the organization. The Nica Nadadores family extends far beyond the pool deck in Nicaragua.
