Why Scholarship Survival Swim Lessons Matter
Every Child Deserves the Skills to Survive in Water
Drowning is silent.
It happens in moments.
And for children ages 1–4, it is the leading cause of death.
Yet drowning is preventable, if a child has the skills to survive.
Survival swim lessons teach infants and young children how to float, breathe, and self-rescue long enough for help to arrive. These are not recreational skills. They are life-saving ones.
But for too many families, cost stands in the way.
When a family can’t afford survival swim lessons, a child is left unprotected. And the risk is highest in communities that can least afford it.
Scholarships Turn Risk Into Protection
A scholarship does more than cover tuition. It gives a child a chance.
With scholarship support, children as young as six months old learn critical survival swim skills from highly trained instructors. Children who receive survival swim instruction are 88% less likely to experience a drowning emergency, a difference that can mean everything.
For parents, it brings peace of mind.
For children, it brings time.
Time that saves lives.
Scholarships Remove a Dangerous Barrier
These are not traditional swim lessons. Survival swim instruction is specialized, adaptive, and individualized, designed to meet each child exactly where they are, how they communicate, move, and process the world.
But families of children with special needs already face overwhelming financial demands. Without scholarship support, many are forced to choose between therapies, medical care, and water safety. A scholarship removes that impossible choice.
Safety That Builds Confidence—and Saves Lives
With the right instruction, children with special needs can learn how to float, find air, and self-rescue in ways that work for them. These skills don’t just increase safety, they build confidence, independence, and hope.
Every Child Deserves the Chance to Survive
Drowning has no cure. Only prevention!
A scholarship removes the financial barrier immediately, placing lifesaving skills where they belong: in the hands of a child.
A child can slip into water in seconds, but survival skills can mean the difference between life and loss.
Your donation removes the financial barrier so a child can learn to float, breathe, and survive.
Give today, because waiting can cost a life.
“I’m writing to thank you for saving my baby’s life. While we were outside, I was watering the garden and my one-year-old-son was “mowing”the back yard with his toy lawnmower, fully dressed including shoes, because it was winter. While my back was turned, he fell into the pool with his lawnmower. By the time I found him and jumped in, he was already floating on his back. ”
