The mission of the Gift of Swimming is to provide access to drowning prevention resources and education which includes swim training for the community's underprivileged, mentally or physically challenged or otherwise disadvantaged. This mission is made possible by The Gift of Swimming Scholarship Program. In addition to the invaluable skill of swimming, children leave the program with healthier bodies, minds and spirits by improving their self-confidence, self-esteem and pride. We provide scholarships so that families can have access to private, one-on-one swimming lessons. Swimming lessons save lives and build healthy minds and bodies. It is our vision to create 'Healthy Kids' by enriching the lives of those who would never be able to afford high-quality swim lessons by way of physical fitness and nutrition information.
