is to raise awareness of the need
and to provide the motivation,
systems, and tools to waterproof our
community so that all children have
basic swimming skills and are safe
around the water.

grants for learn-to-swim and water
safety programs geared towards young
people who otherwise would not have
the opportunity to participate in
such programs.
