The IRONMAN Foundation creates positive change in race communities by engaging athletes and volunteers to participate in programs that demonstrate service through sport and commitment to the communities where we live, train and race.

Swim Ready is a program aimed at creating safer, more confident swimmers while fostering a lifelong love for our sport. We believe swimming is a vital life skill that should be easily accessible to all. Through Swim Ready, grant funding is awarded to select community organizations to provide essential resources, support, and education, to promote safer aquatic activities.
