Make a Splash with
Jason Lezak and Janet Evans
As part of this year's Hall of Fame weekend, The USA Swimming Foundation brought
Olympians Jason Lezak, Janet Evans and Alia Atkinson in to promote the
Foundation's Make a Splash initiative.
The Make a Splash program is a national child-focused water safety campaign, which aims to provide the opportunity for every child in America to learn to
swim.
To date, more than 2 million children have received the lifesaving gift of swim lessons through the USA Swimming Foundation Make a Splash Local Partner network, comprised of more than 600 qualified lesson providers across the nation. Please click on image to start video.
