Saving Lives

The USA Swimming Foundation aims to provide the opportunity for every child in the U.S. to learn to swim. Through an annual grant program and by partnering with swim lesson providers and water safety advocates across the country, we help to support swimming lessons, and educate children and their families on the importance of learning how to swim.

In January 2021, U.S. Masters Swimming moved its fundraising efforts for adult learn-to-swim programs from its USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation to the USA Swimming Foundation. Bringing all learn-to-swim fundraising efforts under the USA Swimming Foundation umbrella creates a greater generational impact by providing swim lessons to people of all ages.

Donors to the USA Swimming Foundation expand the reach of the sport by providing grant funding for teams in need, supporting programming to keep our coaches, officials, and team leaders at the forefront of the sport, and providing educational and training opportunities for the USA Swimming community.

USA Swimming and the USA Swimming Foundation hope to not only grow the pipeline of potential athletes but create more learn to swim and competitive opportunities for populations that might not otherwise have access to the sport.
