COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Swimming, the national governing body for the sport of swimming in the United States, today announced a new partnership with Transwestern Sports & Entertainment, naming the national commercial real estate firm the Official Real Estate Services Provider of USA Swimming.
The partnership will connect USA Swimming member clubs with Transwestern's real estate advisory expertise to help identify opportunities for new aquatic facilities, swim lesson pools, and club expansion across the country. The collaboration represents an important step in USA Swimming's broader strategic effort to support the business operations and long-term sustainability of its member clubs while creating new opportunities for participation in the sport.
Demographic data, market research, and real estate insights will help the organizations identify communities with strong potential for swimming program growth. By evaluating population trends, market demand, and existing aquatic infrastructure, the organizations will help clubs make informed decisions about where and how to expand their operations.
"Our clubs are the foundation of our sport, and supporting their success means thinking beyond what happens in the pool," said Kevin Ring, USA Swimming Chief Executive Officer. "We want to help our clubs thrive as businesses, and that includes providing access to the expertise and resources needed to grow. Through this partnership with Transwestern, we have an opportunity to take a more strategic, data-driven approach to identifying new markets, expanding access to aquatic facilities, and ultimately introducing more Americans to the sport of swimming."
Through its national real estate platform, Transwestern will serve as a resource for USA Swimming clubs exploring facility development, relocation, or expansion opportunities, helping them navigate real estate considerations and evaluate potential locations.
“The success of any facility starts with understanding the community it serves," said Dan Migala, Head of Innovation of Sports & Entertainment at Transwestern. "USA Swimming has an ambitious vision for expanding access to the sport, and we're excited to bring the market intelligence and real estate expertise to help turn that vision into viable opportunities for clubs across the country."
The partnership reinforces USA Swimming's commitment to strengthening its nationwide network of member clubs by providing resources that support their growth both in and out of the water. By combining USA Swimming's understanding of the sport and its membership with Transwestern's commercial real estate expertise, the organizations aim to create new pathways for sustainable club development and increased participation in swimming.
