Please Support Us

Water safety lessons for children are critical.  


Drowning is a leading cause of death for children under 14, and swim lessons reduce that risk by 88%.    it costs $60 per child to conduct water safety lessons.   


Please support us with your contribution!


We are very grateful for your generosity.and support!
