Easy - because you feel strongly that no child should be deprived of such an essential life skill, and because you believe that swimming has the ability to save lives and transform communities.  After all, swimmers are in better shape, get better grades, and are less likely to smoke or use drugs than non-swimmers.

Did you  know...

That drowning is the second leading cause of death among children ages 1-14?  In 10 states it is the leading killer of children ages 1-14.

That children in poor and ethnic communities are at risk of drowning at a rate nearly three times the national average?

That a swimming pool is 14 times more likely than a motor vehicle to take the life of a child under age 5?

For every child that drowns, 4 others are hospitalized for near-drowning, many of whom suffer permanent brain damage or physical disabilities?
