Who We Are

Our mission is to connect donors with kids needing swim lessons, fostering lifelong bonds and promoting water safety.

How Does It Work?

We connect donors directly to local swim schools (YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, Legacy Swim Academy)  to fund lessons for kids in need.

Donors pay partner schools directly for the swim lessons.

Sponsorship Options

  • Donors commit to sponsoring a child for at least one year, receiving regular progress updates.

  • At the end of the initial sponsorship, guardians decide if the child continues; we challenge donors to support the child until they’re fully swim-safe (typically 2-3 years).

  • If the child pursues swimming or water sports (e.g., surfing, water polo), we challenge donors to fund their ongoing journey

Become a Sponsor

We’re here to help you connect with local organizations that provide swim lessons for kids in your community.

Our goal? To create a direct connection between you and the swim student, with regular updates on their progress. As a sponsor, you’ll pay the swim school directly—simple and transparent. We’ll handle the rest: providing support, sharing student updates, and sending out some really cool swag for both students and donors.

Sound fun? Sound like a great way to give back and connect with your community? Fill out the form and we’ll help you get started!

“We connect water lovers with kids who need swim lessons—giving every child the chance to fall in love with swimming and the ocean. We hope you join us!
