Dolfin Swimwear is pleased to announce its partnership with Swim Across America in its fight against cancer.
“It’s heartbreaking when we hear of friends and colleagues affected by cancer,” says Matt Zimmer, VP Sales & Marketing for Dolfin. “Swim Across America provides a platform that the swimming community can swim and generate donations that is funding much-needed cancer research, and we are proud to support the cause.”

Participants are asked to meet fundraising minimums with the proceeds donated to fund clinical trials and research. For 2016, SAA granted $4.6 million and since inception SAA has awarded more than $65 million in grants.
