Our Mission

The Schieber Swim Foundation exists to make life-saving swim education accessible to every child, regardless of financial circumstance, ability, or background. Our mission is to remove barriers that prevent families from accessing high-quality, survival-focused swim instruction- because water safety should never be a privilege. Through scholarships, sliding-scale support, community partnerships, and specialized programming for children with special needs, we work to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn the skills that could one day save their life. We believe drowning prevention starts with access, education, and early intervention. Every child deserves the chance to become safer, more confident, and more capable in and around the water.

Why It Matters

  • Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for children under five.
  • Children with autism are 160 times more likely to drown than their neurotypical peers.
  • Swimming is a lifelong skill that saves lives.
  • By eliminating financial and accessibility barriers, we help children build confidence, develop critical water safety skills, and prevent tragedies.
