THE PROGRAM
Our Swim Safely Series, designed by former college swimmers and aquatic experts, ensures maximum community impact with a short-term commitment from student-athletes. No More Under has developed a unique curriculum and provides virtual training to the student-athletes to equip them with the skills to share water safety with their community members.
The program is delivered over five consecutive days, typically in the college aquatic facility, and is meant to serve as an introduction to water safety education and skills. Participating families are then connected to local swim schools to encourage their continued learning and development of swimming skills after the Swim Safely Series concludes.
We’ve run this program with multiple universities at the D1 and D2 level and they’ve all been a huge success with everyone involved! The swimmers and divers, athletic departments, participating families, and donors have all shared incredibly positive feedback.

Drowning is the second leading cause of death in the US and we lose approximately 1,000 children to drowning every single year and around 8,000 that have drowning incidents that require medical care. We know that drowning is preventable and swimming lessons can reduce drowning by up to 88%. Our ground-breaking series empowers collegiate swimmers and divers to share critical swim lessons which save lives.
