Swim It Forward
SWIM It Forward is an initiative to take the financial barrier out of the equation and get more disadvantaged Australian families enrolled in swimming lessons at their local swim school.
For every child we help place into a learn to swim program, the more we lower the risk of drowning deaths and grow confidence in our kids to love swimming and the water.
With your help we will radically improve the number of children learning to swim and make a big difference in preventing drownings. Read more or donate now
