Story
Support Swim Lessons:
Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death, particularly among children. More than 10% of childhood fatalities are aquatics based. Our Swim Lessons program is dedicated to preventing these tragedies by teaching essential swimming and water safety skills.
Each year our association offers financial assistance to many families in our community. This year alone, we have provided over $4000 in financial assistance towards swim lessons. That is the equivalent of swim lessons for 45 children.
Why Your Donation Matters:
Life-Saving Skills: Your donation helps provide swim lessons that teach children how to be safe around water, including skills such as floating, treading water, and basic swimming techniques.
Accessible to All: We believe every child deserves the chance to learn how to swim, regardless of their family's financial situation. Your contribution helps cover the costs for families who might not otherwise afford these vital lessons.
Qualified Instructors: Our program employs certified swim instructors who are trained in both teaching and water safety, ensuring that each child receives high-quality instruction.
Community Impact: By supporting our swim lessons, you are contributing to a safer community. Educated swimmers are less likely to panic in water, reducing the risk of accidents and creating a culture of water safety awareness.
Long-Term Benefits: Beyond immediate safety, learning to swim opens up opportunities for a lifetime of water activities and fitness, promoting overall health and well-being.
How You Can Help:
Sponsor a Swimmer: A donation of $90 can cover the cost of swim lessons for one child.
Fund a Class: A donation of $900 can provide a full session of lessons for a class of 10 children.
General Support: Any amount you can give will contribute to program supplies, lowering lesson costs, and instructor salaries.
Together, we can make a difference and ensure that more children learn to swim safely, preventing accidents and saving lives. Thank you for your generosity and support!
