Scholarships
Cost shouldn't decide whether a child learns to swim.
We raise funds to help offset the cost of swim lessons for families who need support. If your family could use help affording lessons, we'd love to hear from you.
Important scholarship information
Scholarship availability, eligibility criteria, and award amounts have not yet been finalized and will depend on funding raised through donor and community support. Submitting interest below does not guarantee a scholarship award. We will contact you as our scholarship program develops and funding becomes available. Swim Safe Start Strong does not guarantee lesson pricing, availability, or outcomes, and does not employ, supervise, or provide lessons directly.
How scholarships work
Funded by community generosity, distributed with care.
Every scholarship dollar comes from people who believe swim safety shouldn't depend on a family's income or zip code. As funding becomes available, we intend to direct it toward families with the greatest need, in partnership with local instructors and programs.
Our promise
"No child should be denied lifesaving swim education because of where they live or what their family can afford."
