Swim lesson providers and USA Swimming clubs around the nation are working to bring more children into their programs and spread the life-saving skill of swimming to members of their community. 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 at $50 per child within the USA Swimming Foundation lesson provider network and that
month of lessons can make the difference in the safety of a child.
