RICHMOND, Va. – The Richmond Kickers are excited to unveil ‘The Alt Kit’ featuring a custom black Adidas jersey with red accents and red diagonal pinstripes that feature red sponsor logos, nameplates, and numbers.
SwimRVA features as the front-of-jersey sponsor for The Alt Kit, making it the third nonprofit to feature on a Kickers’ third jersey since 2021.
SwimRVA is a non-profit with four locations throughout Richmond, VA. They provide aquatic programming, offering swim lessons, water fitness, competitive sports, and life safety training. Their mission is to Change Lives Through Aquatics with a vision to DrownProof Richmond. With SwimRVA’s Learn-to-Swim program, second graders from across the region are participating in cost-free, water safety classes and gaining the necessary, life-saving skills of learning how to swim. With over 2,500 students participating each year within the Greater Richmond Region, SwimRVA is moving the needle forward making Richmond safer, healthier, and more vibrant for all.
SwimRVA also actively works to elevate workforce development through the Lifeguard School, providing high schoolers the opportunity to build new skills, learn to swim, and become certified life safety professionals.

Together, we can change lives through aquatics!
