Cash is one of 11 women to receive an Olympic gold medal, an NCAA Championship, a Fiba World cup gold and a WNBA Championship.

==Personal life==
Cash was born in the [[Pittsburgh]] suburb of [[McKeesport, Pennsylvania|McKeesport]] and raised by her mother, Cynthia. She has two brothers named Stephen and Kevin Menifee and one sister, Angelique Menifee. She holds [[basketball]] camps and clinics under her company, Swin Cash Enterprise [[Limited liability company|LLC]], and is involved in charity events through the [[WNBA]]. Cash married longtime boyfriend [[Steve Canal]] in Atlanta, Georgia.

==High school==
Cash attended [[McKeesport Area High School]] in [[McKeesport, Pennsylvania|McKeesport]], where she participated in many activities. She tried baseball, track and cheerleading. She was also in school plays.<ref name=DList/> Cash is best known for her basketball skills, which earned her a place on the national [[Women's Basketball Coaches Association|WBCA]] All-American team. She participated in the [[Women's Basketball Coaches Association#WBCA High School All-America Game|WBCA High School All-America Game]] where she scored fourteen points, and earned MVP honors.<ref name="WBCA Box Scores"/><ref name="WBCA MVP"/>

==College==
Cash was an [[All-American]] at the [[University of Connecticut]] (UConn). She won the [[NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship]] with the UConn Huskies in 2000 and 2002. She also helped lead UConn to an undefeated 39–0 season in 2002. Swin was a member of the inaugural class (2006) of inductees to the University of Connecticut women's basketball "[[Huskies of Honor]]" recognition program.<ref name="HoH" />

==Professional career==
Cash was selected by the [[Detroit Shock]] in the 2002 [[WNBA draft]], second overall.<ref name="Shock history1" /> After leading the Shock's resurgence in the second half of her rookie season, she then led the [[Detroit Shock]] to their first [[WNBA Finals|WNBA Championship]] title in 2003.<ref name="Shock history2" /> She played in the 2003 [[Women's National Basketball Association All-Star Game|WNBA All-Star Game]] and won the [[gold medal]] with the U.S. women's basketball team at the [[2004 Olympic Games]].<ref name="usabb" />
[[Image:Swin Cash.jpg|thumb|300px|left|Swin Cash meets George W. Bush after winning the WNBA Championship with the Detroit Shock in May 2004]]
In the off-season, Cash has appeared as a studio analyst on [[ESPN]]'s [[NBA Fastbreak]]  (according to [[ESPN.com]]) and during the 2008 Beijing Olympic games, she alternated with [[Teresa Edwards]] in presenting in-game commentary for [[NBC]]'s presentation of the women's basketball tournament from the network's New York broadcast studios. Swin appeared (as herself) in the movie [[Bring It On: All or Nothing]].<ref name="imdb" />

Cash received the [[Dapper Dan Charities|Dapper Dan Sportswoman of the Year]] award given to one who shows excellence in the [[Pittsburgh]] area.<ref name="DD Award" />  She was also honored with [[Sidney Crosby]] and [[Dan Rooney]].

Cash left Detroit for the 2008 season after "struggling to build a consistent relationship with Detroit Shock head coach [[Bill Laimbeer]]". On February 19, 2008 Cash was traded to the [[Seattle Storm]] for the 4th pick in the 2008 WNBA draft.<ref name="wnba trans" /> The Shock selected [[Alexis Hornbuckle]] with their draft pick.<ref name="WNBA Draft" /> Cash along with [[Sue Bird]] and [[Lauren Jackson]] helped the Storm win their second championship in 2010.<ref name="WNBA Title"/>  On January 2, 2012, in perhaps the WNBA's biggest blockbuster trade news thus far, Cash was traded, along with [[Le'Coe Willingham]], to the [[Chicago Sky]] joining All- Star [[Sylvia Fowles]].

Cash has been suffering from a herniated disk for more than two years,<ref name="Slam" /> an injury suffered while helping the Detroit Shock win the WNBA championship in 2006. In 2009, she came back to Connecticut to lead the Western Conference over the Eastern Conference at [[Mohegan Sun]] in [[Uncasville]], [[Connecticut]].  She led all scorers with an All-Star record of 22 points in a 130–118 win.  The previous high was 20 by Cash's former Detroit teammate, [[Deanna Nolan]], in 2005.<ref name="seattletimes" />

Cash was invited to the USA Basketball Women's National Team training camp in the fall of 2009.<ref name="National Team" /> The team selected to play for the 2010 FIBA World Championship and the 2012 Olympics is usually chosen from these participants. At the conclusion of the training camp, the team will travel to Ekaterinburg, Russia, where they compete in the 2009 UMMC Ekaterinburg International Invitational.<ref name="National Team" />

[[File:Swin Cash National Team.jpg|thumbnail|right|200px|Cash at USA National team versus USA Select team scrimmage.]]
Cash was one of twenty players named to the national team pool. Twelve of this group will be chosen to represent the US in the 2010 World Championships and the 2012 Olympics.<ref name="National Team Pool"/>

Cash was selected to be a member of the National team representing the US at the World Championships held in September and October 2010. The team was coached by [[Geno Auriemma]]. Because many team members were still playing in the [[WNBA]] until just prior to the event, the team had only one day of practice with the entire team before leaving for [[Ostrava]] and [[Karlovy Vary]], Czech Republic. Even with limited practice, the team managed to win its first games against Greece by 26 points. The team continued to dominate with victory margins exceeding 20 points in the first five games. Several players shared scoring  honors, with Cash, [[Angel McCoughtry]], [[Maya Moore]], [[Diana Taurasi]], [[Lindsay Whalen]], and [[Sylvia Fowles]] all ending as high scorer in the first few games. The sixth game was against undefeated Australia — the USA jumped out to a 24-point lead and the USA prevailed 83–75. The USA won its next two games by over 30 points, then faced the host team, the Czech Republic, in the championship game. The USA team had only a five-point lead at halftime, which was cut to three points, but the Czechs never got closer. Team USA went on to win the championship and gold medal. Cash averaged 8.6 points per game.<ref name="2010 WORLD"/>

Cash was named as one of the  National team members to represent the USA Basketball team in the WNBA versus USA Basketball.<ref name="USA All Star"/> This game replaces the normal WNBA All-Star game with WNBA All-Stars versus USA Basketball, as part of the preparation for the [[FIBA World Championship for Women]] to be held in the [[Czech Republic]] during September and October 2010.<ref name="World Championship 2010"/>

Cash was one of 21 finalists for the U.S. Women's Olympic Basketball Team Roster. The 20 professional women's basketball players, plus one collegiate player (Brittney Griner), were selected by the USA Basketball Women's National Team Player Selection Committee to compete for the final roster which will represent the US at the 2012 Olympics in London.<ref name="Olympic Roster finalists"/> Cash made the final roster and played for the U.S. team that won the 2012 Olympic gold medal.<ref>[http://www.london2012.com/basketball/event/women/match=bkw400101/index.html London 2012 - Women's Basketball - Gold Medal Game results] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130123102900/http://www.london2012.com/basketball/event/women/match=bkw400101/index.html |date=January 23, 2013 }}.</ref>

[[Washington and Jefferson College]] awarded Cash with an honorary degree in Doctorate of Public Service at their commencement ceremonies in May 2011 to honor her charity work. Cash is the founder of the Pennsylvania-based Cash for Kids charitable organization.<ref name=Doctorate/>

Cash was waived by New York Liberty on May 11, 2016. On May 24, 2016, it was reported that Cash re-signed with the Liberty for the remainder of the season. She was immediately eligible for their game versus the [[Atlanta Dream]] on that day.

On June 7, 2016, Cash announced that she would retire at the end of the 2016 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wnba.com/news/swin-cash-retirement-feature/|title=Swin Cash WNBA Career Retrospective|website=WNBA.com - Official Site of the WNBA|language=en-US|access-date=2016-06-09}}</ref>

== Anti-racism and anti-violence activism ==
Cash is an advocate against [[gun violence]] and [[police brutality]]. In 2016, she was fined $500 by the Association, along with her teammates and players from two other WNBA teams, for wearing warm up shirts that read "#[[Black Lives Matter|BlackLivesMatter]]" and "#[[2016 shooting of Dallas police officers|Dallas5]]", both serving as references to gun violence.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/nba/2016/07/15/wnba-players-make-voices-heard-police-violence/87144328/|title=WNBA players make voices heard on police violence|work=Detroit News|access-date=2018-10-29|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/07/liberty-protest-wnba|title=WNBA players stage media blackout after being fined for wearing Black Lives Matter t-shirts|date=2016-07-21|work=For The Win|access-date=2018-10-29|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/wnba/2016/07/13/swin-cash-minneapolis-police-wnba-team-motives/87057658/|title=Liberty's Swin Cash: Minneapolis police must better understand WNBA teams' motives|work=USA TODAY|access-date=2018-10-29|language=en}}</ref> In a post-game debriefing following the incident, Cash stated:<blockquote>I think it’s a shame that we keep seeing people that want to make this movement as something that’s violent. Five cops gave their lives up trying to protect a peaceful movement. And in this country, I do believe that you can assemble peacefully and protest against injustice. So until the system transforms, we cannot sit here and act like there is not a problem here in America.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/11/sports/basketball/liberty-show-solidarity-with-black-lives-matter-in-rare-public-stance.html?module=inline|title=Liberty Show Solidarity With Black Lives Matter in Rare Public Stance|work=The New York Times |date=July 11, 2016 |access-date=2018-10-29|language=en |last1=Berkman |first1=Seth }}</ref></blockquote>She said that part of what motivated her to take a stance against police violence was the [[Civil Rights Movement]] era stories her grandmother told her. She recognizes that police brutality is an aspect of racial activism, and she fears that because police are able to kill unarmed people without facing arrests, a regression to pre-Civil Rights laws and practices may occur for black people.<ref name=":0" /> In addition, her brother, Kevin Menifee, was allegedly beaten by police officers, who broke his nose.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/storm/storms-swin-cash-overcomes-gruesome-back-injury/|title=Storm's Swin Cash overcomes gruesome back injury|date=2009-07-24|work=The Seattle Times|access-date=2018-10-29|language=en-US}}</ref>
