“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” -Gandhi
We are on a mission to make swimming epic for EVERY Kid!
Goal 1: Collect swim gear Donations for kids who need it because swim gear can be crazy expensive.
Goal 2: Swimming is a TEAM Sport. We want to create an uplifting and diverse community of young swimmers where everyone can access knowledge and gear, and feel empowered to be the best they can be.
JOIN OUR MOVEMENT and make some WAVES of CHANGE by providing access to swimming and bridging racial divides. Donate gear, empower dreams – together, let’s ensure every kid can experience the joy and benefits of swimming firsthand!
“We’re so proud to have partnered with such an amazing organization. Meet the founders of @waves4change.official Maximus and Jay. They are both really great swimmers and also passionate about swim lessons being accessible to everyone! Their organization is a movement created by kids, for kids, aimed at inspiring, supporting, and empowering kids to overcome their limitations and experience the joy and superhero magic of swimming. Can you believe they connected with us just by sending a simple DM? They started doing outreach before they left their home time of Maryland and made time to meet with us in between their swim competition for the #ncsa here in Orlando. This past weekend they decided to do a fundraiser and received donations & swim gear to support Alma Swim Foundation. We’re so thankful for our connection and happy our missions align so effortlessly. We can’t wait to use the items at April POOLS Day next weekend! We are so grateful for your support!” –Alma Swim Foundation
