Why Learning to Swim matters to Bahamians and us:

  • Over whelming majority of Bahamians do NOT know how to SWIM!
  • The Bahamas is an island nation – 97% covered with water
  • Safety – Be proactive, why wait for a national disaster
  • Fitness – help in the fight against obesity
  • Fun – Bahamian are losing out on all the water activities that can be enjoyed: boating, scuba diving, tubing, snorkeling, fishing, etc.
  • Environmental Awareness – how can we protect and preserve the sea, one of our greatest natural resources, if the Bahamian people are not able to appreciate and experience it with their own eyes.
  • Swimming Scholarships for Colleges
  • Job opportunities – Tourism, Defense Force, Water sports, Scuba Divers, Fishing, Scientific Research, etc.
