We live in a state filled with backyard pools, lakes, and other bodies so learning to swim is essential. We're proud to offer free community swim lessons thanks to our partners Orlando Health and City of Winter Park - Government.

‼️ It was our final free community swim lesson of the summer and we had a wonderful turnout.

✅ Both children and adults were taking the plunge and making meaningful progress to learning to swim.

🐬 Thank you to our instructors, volunteers, participants, and donors that made this possible! 

🧡 And a special shout out to Orlando Health and the City of Winter Park for their support of our foundation and our commitment to reducing drowning in our community.

School may be back in session, but the warm weather and number of pools and lakes make drowning still a threat here in the Winter Park-Orlando area.

Florida is hurtling toward its deadliest year on record for child drownings. Why — in a state hyper-aware of water safety — do young lives continue to slip away?

💙 It only takes one attentive adult to save a life.

✅ Take the Water Watcher Pledge.

A Water Watcher puts distractions away, stays within arm's reach of children, and keeps their full attention on the water.

If you'll be around a pool, lake, beach, or boat this weekend, make the promise today.
