About
This 1v1 swimming challenge lets you face off against friends, rivals, or strangers in any event—serious or silly. The challenger picks their event and their opponent. The initial challenger chooses to be a part of one of two teams (Team Amigos or Team New Leash) while their competitor joins the other team. Each race earns points towards their team. At the end of the showdown, we will crown a team winner!
Participants will also have the opportunity to race in relays side by side with Drexel’s Swim and Dive Team.
All proceeds support two non-profits: Amigos for Christ and New Leash on Life USA.

How it Works
Create an Event
It can be serious or silly. We've had events like the 50 Breastroke…in jeans, 50 free vs. 25 free, and a chocolate milk chugging race.
The world is your oyster. If you dream it up, we can put it on the heat sheet!
Challenge a Friend
Teammate. Sibling. That friend who “could’ve gone D1.”
No opponent? No problem. Reach out and we’ll help match you up or find an event that fits your strengths.

Committed to Nicaragua
Amigos for Christ is a nonprofit organization that facilitates leadership, water, health, education, and economic development in rural Nicaraguan communities. Our mission is to serve, so that Christ becomes more visible. Our vision is to be a model cross-cultural community development organization.
Working Juntos
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with our Nicaraguan neighbors to bring opportunity to rural communities in need. By working together, we spark transformational growth in people, families, and communities.
Our Philosophy
Our work is all about people. Juntos means working together, and that takes listening well, building infrastructure for change, and even picking up a shovel when the time comes.
They Rescued Each Other
New Leash on Life USA is a Pennsylvania 501(c) (3) non-profit that leverages the powerful bond between humans and dogs to restore hope, healing and well-being to transform lives.
Giving humans and canines a fresh start
New Leash on Life USA leverages the powerful bond between humans and dogs to restore hope, healing and well-being to transform lives.
Founded in 2010, New Leash on Life USA rescues at-risk dogs and works with justice-involved individuals in both prison and community settings to create fresh starts. Leveraging the powerful bond between humans and dogs, our unique model prepares a vulnerable population of underserved people, many living in poverty, with life skills workshops and career services and gives our rescue dogs a fresh start at life and adoption into forever homes.
