The Macdonald Club’s mission is to build a safe, connected, and inspiring community for swimmers and rowers in the Puget Sound and beyond. Through storytelling, community support, and subject matter expertise, we share knowledge and experience so people can approach the open water with confidence, respect, and excitement.

By bringing people together, promoting safety, and strengthening both body and mind, the club connects swimmers and rowers to the waters of the Pacific Northwest—expanding safe open-water swimming and rowing while elevating the health practices that support these extreme sports.
