A MESSAGE FROM Support Kara's 2026 Frogman Swims - Fundraiser for the Navy Seal Foundation!

The Goal 
In 2026, my goal is to be the first person to complete all three—possibly four—Frogman Series Swims without a wetsuit in support of the Navy SEAL Foundation. Each event will push me to my limits, but it’s nothing compared to the sacrifices our Naval Special Warfare community makes in defense of our nation.

My fundraising goal is $2,500 per swim—a total of up to $10,000—all benefiting the Navy SEAL Foundation.
The Swims

January – Tampa Bay Frogman Swim
3.5 miles across Tampa Bay as part of Team Cry Havoc
April – Annapolis Frogman Swim
A challenging 3.1-mile course in the frigid waters of the Chesapeake Bay.
June – Boston Frogman Swim
3.5 miles through Boston Harbor’s swift currents and cold waters.
November – Charleston Frogman Swim (if all goes well)
Another 4.1 miles test of grit in waters just above 55 degrees.

Each of these swims covers 3–4 miles in water temperatures expected to be below 60°F, conditions that demand intense training and mental toughness. As part of Team Cry Havoc, I'll be swimming in memory of SO1 Patrick Feeks & SOC Chris Chambers.

Why I’m Swimming 
The Frogman Swim Series began in Tampa Bay to support one severely injured Navy SEAL. Today, it has grown into a series of events across the country, raising millions for the Navy SEAL Foundation (NSF).

The Navy SEAL Foundation provides immediate and ongoing support to SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewmen (SWCC), veterans, and their families. From warrior transition assistance and Gold Star Family support to educational programs and resilience services, the NSF ensures that no member of this community is ever left behind.

Consistently ranked a
top four-star charity by Charity Navigator, the Foundation is one of the most trusted ways you can directly support those who have given so much.

How You Can Help
I’m asking you to stand with me by supporting my swims and the mission of the Navy SEAL Foundation. Your donation will help us ensure that the families of the fallen are cared for, the wounded are supported, and every operator knows their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

👉 Can I count on you to make a donation today? Together, we can honor their service and “never leave a man behind.”
