100 Kids in 100 Days
Help give 100 income-qualified Miami-Dade children the opportunity to complete 25 professionally instructed swim lessons and build skills that can last a lifetime.
Every child deserves the opportunity
Learning to swim is more than a milestone.
It is a life-saving skill that builds confidence, promotes lifelong water safety, and helps children become safer in and around the water. Yet for many families, the cost of consistent professional instruction can place this opportunity out of reach.
