Drowning is the second leading cause of preventable death in children.

Yet most kids receive little to no real water safety education before they are around pools, lakes, rivers, and vacations near water.

The Joys Of Swimming brings age-appropriate water safety education directly into schools, funded by community sponsors who believe prevention matters.

Most families do not think about water safety until they have to.

By that point, the risk is already there.

Kids are around water earlier than most people realize. Backyard pools. Friends’ houses. Summer camps. Lakes. Vacations. But education does not always come first. Parents often assume someone else will teach it. Schools want to help but often lack the time, expertise, budget, or access to do it well.

That leaves a dangerous gap between exposure and education.

This gap is common, but it’s also preventable.

Water safety education does not have to be scary or overwhelming. It just has to happen early, clearly, and in a way kids can understand.

What is the school program?

The Joys Of Swimming School Program is a one-day water-safety experience delivered in elementary schools.

It is interactive, engaging, and designed for kids who may not have access to poos or formal swim lessons.
* No pool is required.
* No equipment is needed.

The program meets kids where they are and teaches them how to think about water safely in real life.

Students learn how to recognize risk, make safer choices, and understand why water deserves respect. The leave with simple language they can use at home, helping parents continue the conversation.

Schools do not pay for this program. Sponsors make it possible.

Why schools say yes

Schools care deeply about student safety. They also have limited time, limited budgets, and many demands competing for attention.

The Joys Of Swimming program is fully funded and easy to schedule. We handle the planning, materials, and delivery. School staff are not asked to fundraise or take on extra work.

This is not a generic assembly. It is a focused, thoughtful experience that students remember and parents appreciate.

How sponsorship works

Community sponsors fund the program so schools can say yes without hesitation.

Instead of paying for ads or short-term visibility, sponsors invest in prevention. Their support brings water safety education into schools that otherwise would not have access to it.

Sponsors are recognized in schools and in take-home materials, but the real value is impact.
* Hundreds of kids reached in one day.
* Families are aware and informed.
*. Your sponsorship saves future lives.

The long-term impact

When kids learn about water safety early, it changes how families think about water.

Parents become more aware. Kids make better choices. Schools become safer places. Communities take real steps toward preventing something that should never happen.

This is how prevention works. Quietly. Consistently. Before a crisis ever occurs.
