Drowning is a silent epidemic that claims an estimated 360,000 lives every year, many of them children.

Drowning is the 3rd leading cause of unintentional injury death worldwide. These are wasted lives and preventable deaths. SwimTayka's mission is to give disadvantaged communities around the world access to swimming teachers who can not only provide the life skills of swimming but create a legacy for today's children, who will grow up to teach the next generations

As a lover of water and everything swimming offers, I think swimTayka is a unique charity which not only saves lives but also enhances them. This enormous challenge is one that excites , challenges and scares me a little.However knowing I am doing some good keeps me motivated to succeed for all the kids in the world who have lives enhanced by water, not taken away.
