Swim Seattle is a new initiative that combines the efforts of Seattle Parks and Recreation, YMCA of Greater Seattle, Public Health - Seattle & King County, Associated Recreation Council, Washington State Parks & Recreation Commission , No More Under, Seattle Children's, and SplashForward to remove barriers to learning to swim and to eradicate disproportionate drownings among youth of color.
โIn this City of water we have to end the disproportionate drownings among children of color and ensure all kids, regardless of their backgrounds, have equitable access to learn the fundamentals of swimming, an essential life skill,โ said AP Diaz, Superintendent of Seattle Parks and Recreation.
Swim Seattle began in 2023 as a pilot by providing a year of free lessons to a cohort of 250 youth. It prioritizes access to those who cannot afford lessons, while also providing workshops to support children and their families in becoming comfortable swimmers and water-safe. Since launching, Seattle Parks and Recreation has delivered over 1,100 free swim lessons to families in need.
Swim Seattle welcomes you to celebrate Water Safety Day with us at Rainier Beach Community Center & Pool on Saturday, May 18 from 11am to 3pm!
The FREE Water Safety Day is open to all and will include free activities, food, music, and guest speakers, as well as a limited number of life jacket giveaways. A free family swim will also be available from 12:30 to 2 P.M.
