Support Recovery. Elevate Performance. Invest in Our Student-Athletes.

This Giving Day, join us in advancing health, safety, and performance for our student athletes at UC Irvine Athletics.

Recovery is not a luxury in high-performance sport it is a competitive necessity. Our current hydrotherapy equipment has served us for many decades, but it no longer reflects the level of excellence we expect from our Anteaters. To continue providing elite-level care, we are raising funds to upgrade our hydrotherapy room with state of the art HydroWorx recovery tubs.

Why This Matters 

Hydrotherapy plays a critical role in: 

  • Reducing muscle soreness and inflammation 
  • Enhancing circulation and recovery between training sessions 
  • Supporting injury rehabilitation 
  • Promoting overall student-athlete wellness 

Temperature-regulated HydroWorx recovery tubs provide precise control, improved sanitation systems, and safer access for student-athletes. This upgrade will significantly enhance our ability to deliver consistent, evidence-based recovery strategies across all 18 sports. 

The Impact of Your Gift 

Your support will: 

  • Improve student-athlete health and safety 
  • Increase recovery efficiency during high-demand competitive seasons 
  • Extend longevity and performance capacity 
  • Align our facilities with Division I standards of excellence 

When our student athletes recover better, they train better. When they train better, they compete better. And when they compete better, the entire Anteater community rises with them. 

On Giving Day, invest in the well-being of the 350+ student-athletes who represent UC Irvine with pride, resilience, and excellence. 

Together, we can build a recovery environment that matches their commitment and continues to support champions!
