Did you know that approximately 13 school buses full of children drown in the United States and nearly 100 in Texas every year ? Drowning remains the leading cause of accidental death in children under 4 and the second leading cause of death in children under 14. This staggering reality drives our commitment to support the Hope Floats Foundation’s mission.
At British Swim School – Austin, we believe in the power of swimming to save lives, and we are thrilled to share our partnership with the Hope Floats Foundation.
Through their scholarship program, the Hope Floats Foundation offers 3-month scholarships for swimming lessons to children who qualify for free or reduced lunch. While the foundation covers the majority of the lesson costs, families are required to contribute 10% of the total cost. This small investment fosters a sense of responsibility and commitment to learning this essential life skill.
As we continue to promote water safety and provide access to swim lessons for all, we invite you to join us in this important mission. Whether by spreading the word, volunteering, or contributing to the foundation, every little bit helps us make a difference. 100% of donations made to the Hope Floats Foundation remain local and directly benefit scholarships for kids receiving swim lessons right here in our community. Together, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn this vital skill and stay safe in and around water!
