Hope Floats Foundation is a national nonprofit organization that partners with local, high-quality swim schools to provide scholarships for swim lessons for local families in need. According to the CDC, drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children ages 4 and under and the second leading cause of accidental death for children ages 14 and under. It can happen to anyone, but drowning is 100% preventable. Studies have shown that children who participate in swim lessons are 88% less likely to drown.
