It has been a busy year, but we have not forgotten about Right2Swim!

Stay tuned for an announcement on our summer initiative that will help raise funds for more families and children in need. It is guaranteed to be a splashing good time!!🌞💦

We have a short waitlist of families who have reached out in need, but if you know of anyone else, have them email [email protected] to share their story. We aim to help as many children as we can.

Sincerely,
Your team at Right2Swim

Thanks to everyone who supported our holiday campaign! As a result of generous donations, Right2Swim was able to provide learn to swim financial aid for children in need. Here's a note from a parent expressing what this kind of support means to them :)

"Thank you for giving my kids with special needs opportunity to learn to swim. Without your financial help it won’t be possible."

Several families in financial need have reached out. If you are able to provide support this holiday season, thank you. All proceeds will go towards the learn-to-swim needs of children on the autism spectrum.

Do you know of a child living in Ontario who could use some learn-to-swim financial support? We are looking to support a few children in need this holiday season. Please email [email protected] if you know of a family in need.

In speaking to numerous parents, two key issues were identified: 1) minimal government funding to support costs/funding is slow to arrive and 2) Many swim instructors need knowledge on how to support children on the spectrum.

Right 2 Swim wants to help 1) reduce financial barriers and 2) promote knowledge and understanding.

We are currently putting together a 'Tips for Swim Instructors' sheet in conjunction with a parent and a professional who has experience supporting children on the spectrum.

Parents/caregivers please share your tips below - we'd love to integrate as many ideas as possible.

Did you know that children with autism are 160x more likely to drown than other kids?

Right 2 Swim is on a mission to change this! We're dedicated to making learn-to-swim programs accessible and affordable for children on the autism spectrum.

Hi there,
I'm the founder of Right 2 Swim. I believe every child deserves the chance to learn this life skill and I understand that those on the autism spectrum may need extra time and support, which takes money! This organization is dedicated to helping remove financial barriers for learning to swim for children living in Ontario, Canada. Please follow along for updates on our initiatives!
