Join the Bishop O'Connell Swim and Dive team on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. for our first annual Swim-A-Thon to support cystic fibrosis (CF) research and programming at Johns Hopkins Children's Center. Swim a minimum of 200 lengths of the pool and help us fundraise for this incredible cause. Even if you cannot make the actual event, please consider participating in our fundraising effort by making a gift today.
Bishop O'Connell High School has a longstanding history of supporting cystic fibrosis research, awareness, and programming through the school's annual Superdance marathon, raising more than $4.8 million since our first dance in 1976. In addition, our team has had several swimmers, divers, friends, and family members with CF that have directly benefitted from this funding over the years. The coaches, swimmers, and divers are proud to offer this inaugural Swim-A-Thon to support the Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center—one of the best pediatric pulmonary programs in the entire country and a place where several of our swimmers have received care.
Help us become lead fundraisers at O'Connell and blow our goal of $15,000 out of the water!

What is cystic fibrosis?
CF is a life-threatening disorder that causes long-lasting infections or damage to the lungs, digestive system, and other organs. There is currently no cure for CF. With our help, our partners at Johns Hopkins Children's Center are continually improving ways to understand and treat the disease, ultimately saving more lives.
