At Step Into Swim, we are on a mission to create more swimmers. Step Into Swim is an initiative of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance dedicated to promoting water safety and making waves in drowning prevention. Since 2012, Step Into Swim has funded swimming lessons for more than 300,000 children across the country – because we believe every child deserves access to swim education.
PHTA received a 2023 Power of Associations Gold Award for its lifesaving Step Into Swim initiative.
Step Into Swim’s own Rowdy Gaines was joined by fellow Olympians Cullen Jones and Missy Franklin to debunk swim safety myths.
The Step Into Swim™ Campaign would like to thank our donors.
They have generously given the gift of swimming lessons across the country. You, too, can inspire and change the lives of others by donating. Help provide swim lessons and create more swimmers today!
