Help spread the word

Sam the Otter

Dear Friends and Family,

I am putting my goggles on and swimming my best at the Swimming Simply Swim-a-thon on June, 6th!

This event raises money for Hope Floats, Swimming Simply's scholarship fund, which provides swim lessons for local kids who might not be able to afford them.

I would appreciate it if you could help support Swimming Simply and their cause to end childhood drowning!

Thanks in advance for your support!

About this fundraiser:

At Swimming Simply, we believe everyone can swim! However, not everyone has learned to swim because access to swimming is not evenly distributed. It can be incredibly challenging to find excellent, affordable swim programming that is accessible to where you live.

In addition, historically racist beliefs have made swimming feel even more inaccessible to many people. And, once you don’t learn how to swim as a kid, it can get harder and harder to believe that swimming is possible. While it is widely accepted that kids need to learn how to swim, it is less well known that 44% of adults in the US admitted they would fail a basic swim test. We believe everyone can swim, and that time and resources should be allotted to ensure that swimming is accessible to all.

For our first annual swim-a-thon, we are raising money for our Hope Floats scholarship fund, so local kids can have access to affordable swim lessons!
