Swim lesson accessibility
We believe that every child should have access to high quality swim lessons. To make that a possibility, we grant swim lesson scholarships, offer a variety of instructors, consistently expand our team to meet demand, and offer lessons at various times and locations to accommodate different schedules and living situations.
Swim Scholarships
Since our 2020 inception, we have provided more than $73,500 in scholarships for children.
Equipping Instructors
Through our instructor program we have granted nearly $62,000 to five qualified individuals by sponsoring their initial ISR certification. In subsequent years, four of these instructors have remained committed employees, receiving support for recertification fees, continuing education experiences, and equipment allowances.
Teaching children to be water safe
We have skilled over 400 students since 2020. Our goal is to ensure that every one of our students becomes water-safe. We work with each student individually, at their own pace, until they become independent aquatic problem solvers and can participate in lessons fully clothed.
