im Program Expansion Plans

We are on our way to reaching our goal to be implementing our im program in every US state by the end of the year. We have scheduled two im program Trainings this year to reach the remaining 14 states. Did you know that every hour, of every day, 40 people drown? We are committed to spreading awareness about water-safety and offering our learn-to-swim lessons to those who need it. If you want to learn more about our programming, please contact our Program Director.

On September 16-18, we are hosting an im Program Training to equip seven new Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Each Club will reach 50 or more members.

On October 14-16, we'll be reaching the remaining seven US states at a Special Olympics Training in Massachusetts.
