About This Project:
Project Description
Self rescue swim lessons will be proved by means of scholarship to teach children survival swimming methods which could ultimately save their life if they were to make it to a body of water unnoticed. This self rescue skill is the ability to roll onto their back and float unassisted and independently, and if the child is capable they may flip over and swim to an exit.
Project Needs
We are in need of funding for scholarships for self rescue survival swimming lessons for those in need.
Project Schedule
By spring of 2019, we hope to have the pamphlets and posters presented and distributed. Educational presentations to new parents at Tomball's newborn safety and Infant CPR classes, as well as new mothers at the breastfeeding support group. Community events, such as the farmer's market, will be a venue to present this education to a large number of people in the community. Texas Orthopedics Sports Medicine Pool and self rescue swim instructor will be available in the fall of 2019. Students will need to apply and acceptance will be determined by the beginning of April.
Project Beneficiaries
Losing a child is a pain no one should have to bare, especially when the cause is preventable. Children, parents, grandparents, friends, ect… will benefit from this program's efforts in the community of Tomball.
