While the summer months are approaching and we are all eager for life to return to normal, we want to remind children and adults of the importance of mental health and water safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The announcement coincides with Mental Health Awareness month and Water Safety Month, both of which fall in May. The Michael Phelps Foundation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/industry-news-michael-phelps-launches-foundation-donates-speedo-1-million-bonus-to-charity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was created in 2008<\/a> with a goal of increasing water safety for children and young adults. It has since expanded its purview to broader goals of increasing physical, mental and emotional fitness for kids. It has provided learn-to-swim classes and other programming to more than 100,000 children, through partnerships with organizations like the Boys &amp; Girls Club, Special Olympics International and the Level Field Fund.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We appreciate the commitment and support of Michael and his Foundation as the IM program provides Boys &amp; Girls Clubs with a life skills curriculum that is valuable and easy to implement,&#8221; said <strong>Frank Sanchez,<\/strong> Vice President of the Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of America. &#8220;During these especially tough times, we are concerned about our kids&#8217; emotional wellness and this added social-emotional learning support will be very beneficial as our Clubhouses begin to re-open.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Michael Phelps Foundation and Panasonic Corporation of North American Wednesday announced an expansion of the IM Program partnership with Boys &amp; Girls Clubs of America.
