Our Mission

Making a global difference by partnering with the USA Swimming Foundation, the Make A Wish Foundation and the National Drowning Prevention Alliance to support children across the country in learning how to swim and to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

Giving back to our local communities by going out and educating those outside our school on the importance of water safety and the science of swimplay and by supporting our local family programs, including Highmark’s Caring Place.
