A child dies from drowning every minute across the globe. It’s the silent epidemic that no one is talking about. The absolute blessing here is that drowning is preventable. Through pooling our resources and connecting underserved children with providers who can help educate families how to keep their children safe and who can give children the ability to save their own lives through learning to sw

im, community by community, we can reverse the tide of child drownings worldwide. Hope Floats is the vehicle through which ordinary people and businesses can pool together to do something extraordinary: Save the lives of children across the globe by giving them the life-saving skill of swimming. Hope Floats raises money by partnering with individuals, just like yourself, and businesses that want to do good works in their community. That money is used to give scholarships and tuition assistance to underprivileged children who might not otherwise be able to afford swim lessons. How Can I Help?

* Participation in formal swim lessons reduces risk of drowning by 88%! (National Institute of Health, Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med, 2009)
* According to Griffith University research (2013), young children who participate in swim lessons at an early age are:
* 20 months ahead in understanding directions
* 17 months ahead in story recall
* 10 months ahead in cognitive skills
* 7 months ahead in fine motor skills

Way to go British Swim School - Lancaster and York!!!

Big news! 🌊

British Swim School Lancaster-York, through its Hope Floats Foundation, is thrilled to announce it has received a grant from Step Into Swim, a nationwide initiative dedicated to creating safe swimmers and giving every child access to lifesaving swim lessons.

And we're going even further: British Swim School Lancaster-York, along with our owner's CPA firm BAAS Advisory (www.baasadvisory.com), will be matching this grant with an additional contribution to Hope Floats Foundation— doubling the impact for families in our community! 💪

Together, this support will allow us to provide swim lesson scholarships to local children who otherwise wouldn't have access to learn-to-swim instruction. Water safety is personal to us, and we're proud to put our own resources behind this mission.

Every child deserves the chance to be safe and confident in the water. A huge thank you to Step Into Swim for partnering with us to make it happen! 🏊‍♀️💙
