Make Waves With Us
For too long, generational and economic barriers have limited communities of color’s access to swimming and comfort in aquatic spaces. It’s why we’re on a mission to provide 1,000 Swim Lessons to people in the Black community — and we can’t do it without you. Help us kick down doors that have been shut for too long and give every individual the confidence to move safely, freely, and joyfully in the water.
