Glad to start a new school year with swim lessons and water safety through our Project SAFE partnership with the Greater Austin YMCA! To date, 25,000 kids in Central Texas schools have learned these life-saving skills. In addition to swim lessons, kids learn the interactive Water Safety with Colin & Friends curriculum. Visit drowningispreventable.org for fun, bilingual lessons to share with your kids and be safer around water year round!
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded $125,000 in new funding to expand our Project SAFE program, which provides access to FREE swimming and water safety skills training to Kindergarten and First Graders across Greater Austin in partnership with Austin Independent School District, Hays CISD and Wimberly ISD. Funding for this effort is provided by the CDC Foundation through a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies The CDC Foundation joins longstanding YMCA partners and advocates of drowning prevention, Colin's Hope and Delta Air Lines, who are committed to educating families and raising awareness on the importance of water safety. We are humbled and grateful for all of these incredible partners who support this critical work in our communities. #watersafety #nonprofit #austintx #Austin #childsafety
