Our mission is to raise awareness on accidental drownings and highlight the importance of water safety for our children. In order to accomplish this, we encourage Survival Swim Lessons to ensure all children know how to self-rescue.

Our scholarships are designed to help lower-income families afford Survival Swim Lessons and minimize as much of the costs as possible.
