A few months ago, we highlighted the National Swimming Pool Foundation’s (NSPF) “Step into Swim” Campaign. The goal of this campaign is to directly create one million MORE swimmers with their program within the next ten years.
This ten year initiative is geared to help people live healthier lives through aquatics. Swimming improves people’s overall health, reduces accidents and deaths related to drowning and offers a fun, fit activity for individuals and families.
The 2018 grant recipients of the 2018 Step into Swim campaign have been chosen and the NSPF has announced these recipients.
From SwimSwam:
The following organizations will benefit from the $112,000 received this year: Angels of America’s Fallen, YMCA of Greater Charlotte, Jewish Community Center Association, New York State Parks, SwimToday (a program of USA Swimming), Cincinnati Public School System, and many individual learn to swim programs selected by Master Pools Guild members and dealers of Pentair and Hayward. All donated funds are directed toward learn to swim programs, with NSPF covering all administrative cost.
This has been a truly amazing initiative and thanks to the vision of the NSPF and the generosity of donors and partners, the campaign has been able to give the gift of swimming lessons to thousands of children through these partner organizations.
