Grants are available to USA swim lesson providers to offer free or low-cost swimming programs to youth from underserved backgrounds. Applicants must be pre-approved as a provider prior to applying.
Through grants and program support, the USA Swimming Foundation uplifts these organizations and helps ensure cost is never a reason why an individual does not learn to swim. One month of formal swimming lessons can cost as little as $50 per child within the USA Swimming Foundation lesson provider network. That month of lessons can make the difference in the safety of a child.
The Facts
• The goal of swim lessons is to make children SAFER in, on, and around water.
• 79% of children in households with incomes less than $50,000 have little-to-no swimming ability.
