SWIM FOR LIFE INSTRUCTOR

Drowning is the number one cause of death in North Carolina and the second leading cause of unintentional deaths in young children in the country. Underprivileged populations’ risk of drowning is 2 to 3 times higher because they often do not have access to swim lessons.

Swim for Life at the Alexander Y offers a week of free swim lessons to children, teens and adults who could not otherwise afford them. We believe that everyone in our community should have access to these critical, lifesaving skills. Our goal is to teach safety and swimming skills to unprivileged children and adults so that we can change current statistics. Furthermore, by helping people master new skills, we are aiming to instill independence, confidence and self-worth in both adults and children.
