The Durham Chapter of Jack and Jill is excited to partner with Carolina Swims Foundation to provide free swim lessons and swim equipment for children in the foster care system in North Carolina. The Durham Chapter was selected as a 2020 recipient of the Red Cross NADPA Swim Sponsorship in the amount of $2000.  This grant is being used to provide greater water safety awareness, swim instruction, and swimming gear.  Each child will be provided a ‘survival pack’ which includes items such as bathing suits, goggles, towels, swim caps, swim toys, and water bottles.

"In the absence of North Carolina swimming laws requiring lifeguard standards for all kids, Carolina Swims is setting new standards when it comes to guarding against the waste and terror of drowning.  Carolina Swims is reducing the risk of drowning by increasing the number of qualified guards around the water.  If you know a child—any child—then you have a reason for being invested in Carolina Swims," stated Dr. Jeffrey Brown.

Adjustable Goggles - Autism Certified Resource

Frogglez Goggles were invented by Christian Hahn after watching his daughter struggle with leaking swim goggles that pulled her hair. She wasn’t alone, all of the kids in her swim lesson lacked the motor skills to get their goggles to fit. Frogglez have a patented goggle strap that is easy for kids to manage independently. Our innovative swimming goggle design is used in adaptive swim programs around the world.

"Kids Swim Lessons - Using Fun to Boost Cognitive Growth

While swimming is a valuable life skill in and of itself, our lessons also work to boost your child’s cognitive growth in a fun, social and safe environment. Our premier swim schools keep class sizes small and use The Science of SwimPlay® to propel children’s potential so they can succeed both in and out of the water. We offer a wide variety of swim lesson plans, including infant and toddler swim lessons!"
