USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation Awards Grants

USMS ANNOUNCEMENT

The USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation awards grants to programs that can demonstrate more adults will be provided the opportunity to benefit from swimming as a direct result of the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation grant support. Special priority consideration is given to Adult Learn to Swim programs. The maximum grant award for such a program is up to $5,000.
In 2012, USMS awarded five grants totaling $22,000. USMS knew there were many programs providing this good work or interested in doing so, if only they had the funding. USMS wants the swimming community to know that the Swimming Saves Lives Foundation is available to them, however, the deadline is June 1.
The grant application can be found at www.usms.org/giving.
