Swim For Life
Our commitment to water safety
In the United States, accidental drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury related death among kids under the age of 14, with drowning incidences disproportionately impacting minority children (USA Swimming Foundation). Considering how passionate we are about swimming you can imagine how hurt we were to learn of this reality. That is why we decided when putting 220 Fitness together that we’d donate part of our proceeds to a program who offers swim lessons to children in New York City.
Swim For Life strives to reduce the number of drowning occurrences by teaching NYC second graders how to swim so they can learn vital water safety skills, develop healthy fitness habits, and have fun in the water throughout their lives. Swim For Life aligns New York City’s top certified swimming instructors with a common curriculum, program delivery model, and a swim council to advocate for drowning prevention.
We thank you for choosing 220 Fitness and in turn supporting Swim For Life. If you’d like to make an additional donation to this amazing organization please click the link below. Thanks again!
