To date, the Step into Swim program has provided 300,000 swim lessons. We are extremely proud of this accomplishment, but we aren’t done with our mission.

Did You Know?

Learning to swim can reduce the risk of drowning by 88%
for 1–4-year-olds who take formal swim lessons.

Through our program, we create a strong partnership with swim programs and grant them funding through our philanthropic program to provide swim lessons. We work with programs such as the American Red Cross, Jewish Community Centers, School Districts, State Parks, USA Swimming, YMCAs, and more.

Please view the Step Into Swim Grant Agreement here.
