Every child deserves a safer start around water.

Safe2Swim helps children ages 1 to 5 access local swim lessons when their families may not otherwise have the opportunity.

Focused on ages 1–5

We connect young children with trusted local swim lesson opportunities through schools, instructors, community partners, and donors.

  • Swim lesson scholarships
  • Local instructor partnerships
  • School and community referrals
  • Funded in part by Emerald Custom Pools

Our Mission

Make early childhood swim lessons easier to access.

Safe2Swim was created to assist children between the ages of 1 and 5 who may not have the chance to attend local swim lessons because of cost, availability, transportation, or awareness.

By working with local instructors and schools, we help families take an important first step toward confidence, education, and safer habits around pools and water.

What We Do

Programs built around access, trust, and community.

01

Lesson Scholarships

We help cover the cost of swim lessons for children ages 1 to 4 who would benefit from early water safety instruction.

02

Instructor Partnerships

We partner with local swim instructors who provide age-appropriate lessons in a safe, supportive learning environment.

03

School Connections

We work with local schools and community organizations to identify families and connect them with nearby lesson opportunities.

Local Partnerships

We cannot do this alone.

Safe2Swim is building a network of swim instructors, schools, community groups, donors, and volunteers who want to help more young children start lessons early.
