FINIS, Inc.<\/a>, a worldwide leader in technical swimming development, is proud to announce the So More Can Swim<\/em><\/a> initiative. Starting in April 2015, FINIS will donate a percentage of every goggle purchase to nonprofit organizations that make swimming more accessible.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere at FINIS, we\u2019ve set out to achieve one goal: to help more people enjoy the water. We keep that singular mission in mind with everything we do, and this initiative is no exception. With the launch of So More Can Swim<\/a>, I am thrilled to give our customers a new way to look at goggles while making a difference in the world of swimming.\u201d \u2013 John Mix, CEO, FINIS, Inc.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the Centers for Disease Control<\/a>, drowning is the fifth leading cause of unintentional death\u00a0in the United States. Ten people die each day from unintentional drowning, 20 percent of them children aged 14 or younger.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, a team of FINIS employees determined that overall cost and access to local pools are two key factors that prevent adults from seeking learn-to-swim programs for themselves or their children. To solve these problems most effectively, FINIS will partner with nonprofit organizations that improve access to learn-to-swim resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cI attribute so much joy in my life to my time in the pool\u2014a sentiment shared by many swimmers around the world. We developed\u00a0So More Can Swim<\/a>\u00a0based on the simple belief that everyone deserves to feel happy and healthy in the water.\u201d \u2013 Jill Dahle, Community Development Coordinator, FINIS, Inc.<\/em>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After one year of internal planning, the\u00a0So More Can Swim<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>initiative is now officially\u00a0operational. FINIS will measure total goggle sales each month and make donations to the inaugural nonprofit partners listed below.<\/p>\n

Goggles for Guppies<\/a> distributes donated swim equipment to swim schools and teams that provide affordable learn-to-swim programs to underserved youth. Two young brothers started Goggles for Guppies in 2011 and have managed to build this effective organization while juggling their swimming and school commitments.

Swimming Saves Lives Foundation<\/a> is the charitable arm of United States Masters Swimming<\/a>. The purpose of the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation is to raise awareness, and to serve as a resource for programs providing adult learn-to-swim lessons.

In addition to the contributions made to nonprofit partners, FINIS will reward socially conscious swim teams in the form of surprise giveaway days. The Oakland Undercurrent<\/a> was the inaugural recipient of a FINIS surprise giveaway day.<\/p>\n

The Oakland Undercurrent, based in Oakland, California, is a member of the Oakland Community Pools Project, an organization that provides affordable, community-driven swim programs to engage local youth and empower them to achieve success. Head Coach Rolandas Gimbutis and his assistant coaches work hard to build a team of self-motivated and competitive young swimmers.<\/p>\n

Members of the FINIS team worked secretly with an Oakland Undercurrent parent to determine what products would best support the coaches and swimmers. On March 6, 2015, members of the FINIS team, including CEO John Mix, arrived on deck for the Oakland Undercurrent\u2019s Friday afternoon practice. To the coaches\u2019 and swimmers\u2019 surprise, they were greeted with new equipment for the entire team and a stroke clinic led by FINIS employees. After an energetic hour in the pool, coaches, swimmers, parents, and FINIS employees shared laughs over a cannonball contest and a pizza party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe surprise giveaway for the Oakland Undercurrent was one of the most rewarding days of my career. It felt great to give back to a program right in our backyard. Interacting with the coaches and parents who work so hard to make a difference is an experience I\u2019ll never forget.\u201d \u2013 Josh Early, FINIS, Inc. Marketing Manager<\/em><\/p>\n

Moving forward, FINIS aims to expand the efforts of So More Can Swim<\/em><\/a>. Future plans include additional partnerships, a learn-to-swim reimbursement program for FINIS employees, and more giveaway days. Currently, FINIS is collaborating with Paralympic Gold Medalist and FINIS-sponsored athlete Mallory Weggemann<\/a> to identify an organization that makes swimming more accessible to individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n
