New Swim Across America Participant Center is Live

Swim Across America now features a new Participant Center created to make fundraising easier for all participants, whether you are a swimmer, volunteer or SAA My Way participant. Get registered at swimacrossamerica.org and check out these new features when you are logged in:

  • The Participant Center has a new design as well as mobile-responsive functionality
  • The new email interface simplifies email sending while maintaining your organizational styles with suggested message templates. Participants will never lose their work again thanks to the new “autosave” of draft messages in the email editor!
  • PC3’s new “Profile View” allows supporters to do more “self service” updates –they can edit their own profile (constituent record), privacy preferences, and change their password–all within the Participant Center. Participants also have the power to join a team after registration.
  • The photo upload tool now includes a preview option that automatically zooms to the required 300×400 dimensions and allows the participant to zoom or rotate the photo.
  • SAA My Way participants will be able to use the Activity Tracker and upload inspiring photos of their progress

If you have questions about the new Participant Center – you can consult our Support Page with Frequently Asked Questions about the Center.
