The USA Swimming Foundation<\/strong> today announced that it has awarded <\/span>$898,<\/span>184 to learn to swim programs across the country through its 2022 grant program \u2013 the largest ever dollar amount awarded through its grant program for swim lesson providers. A gift of <\/span>$<\/span>200,000 from Step Into Swim<\/a><\/strong>, an initiative of the Pool & Hot Tub Foundation<\/strong> (PHTF) committed to safer swim education and drowning prevention, along with an additional $80,000 approved by the USA Swimming Foundation Board of Directors, helped bring youth learn to swim grant awards to the largest amount in USA Swimming foundation history. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The USA Swimming Foundation, the philanthropic arm of USA Swimming, vetted <\/span>184 youth grant <\/span>applications through a competitive annual review process, selecting<\/span> 102 <\/span>programs across <\/span>29<\/span> states to receive<\/span> $763,184 in<\/span> funding<\/span> as part of its 2022 grant program for swim lesson providers<\/span>. <\/span>These grants will support youth programs offering free or reduced-cost swim lessons, providing an estimated 19,870 children with the opportunity to learn how to swim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A strong advocate of USA Swimming Foundation, Step Into Swim\u2019s donation helps the Foundation continue to save lives and build champions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Learning to swim from a qualified instructor drastically reduces the risk of childhood drowning by 88%. The more awareness we bring to the importance of swim instruction, the more lives we can save,\u201d said three-time Olympic gold medalist and VP of Partnerships and Development for PHTA Rowdy Gaines<\/strong>. \u201cStep Into Swim is proud to collaborate with an organization like the USA Swimming Foundation, whose efforts to support learn-to-swim programs is important, life-saving work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first time, the USA Swimming Foundation has also awarded grant funding to programs that focus on adult learn<\/span>–<\/span>to<\/span>–<\/span>swim efforts, granting $135,000 to 39 adult learn-to-swim programs across 22 states, providing an estimated 2,007 adults the opportunity to learn how to swim. \u00a0Earlier <\/span>in 2021,<\/span> U.S. Masters Swimming<\/strong> (USMS) moved its fundraising efforts for adult learn-to-swim programs from its Swimming Saves Lives Foundation to the USA Swimming Foundation, bringing all learn-to-swim fundraising efforts under the USA Swimming Foundation. U.S. Masters Swimming continues to own and administer adult learn-to-swim curriculum and certification for instructors, as well as provide resources to programs offering adult lessons <\/span>throughout the United States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
