2025 Orange Cap Day

As summer approaches, we’re reaching out to invite your club to take part in a meaningful national initiative this fall. Orange Cap Day returns for its fourth year this September—a chance for the Canadian swimming community to come together to raise funds and awareness for National Truth and Reconciliation Day through the sale of custom orange swim caps.

Since 2022, over a hundred clubs have taken part, helping raise more than $24,000 in support of Indigenous swimming programs. These funds are now being used to launch a mentorship initiative designed to empower Indigenous youth in competitive swimming. This year, we’re excited to continue our partnership with Stuart Pagaduan, whose original artwork once again brings powerful meaning to each cap.

Save the date: Order deadline is Friday, August 29, 2025. The Caps will ship in early September in time for club activities and Orange Cap Day events.

We’ll be sharing more details on how to participate, promote the initiative within your club, and help make this year’s campaign our most impactful yet.

Thank you for your continued support in turning awareness into action.

- Orange Cap Committee, Leanne, Nicole, Vanessa, Greg and Dean.
