Williamson County Parks & Recreation and the Excel Swim Club announced a $1,000,000 gift to support a new aquatics facility and programming in the Bethesda area.
Gordon (Parks & Rec) introduced Steven Murray, Excel’s president and head coach, who described the club’s more than two‑decade partnership with county parks and emphasized the donation’s intended uses: life‑saving swim lessons, community access to aquatic facilities, athlete development and competitive pathways. "This facility is going to provide the community with essential access to life saving skills, healthier lifestyles, athletic development, and opportunities for athletes to go and compete at the collegiate level," Murray said.
Parks leadership called the check the largest single cash donation in the department’s history and expressed appreciation for the club’s long partnership and the county’s financial commitment to support construction and operations moving forward.
Next steps: Parks staff will incorporate the gift into project planning and report back with project timelines and procurement steps.
