Survival Swim Scholarships

Helping Families Access Life-Saving Swim Lessons

Every Child Deserves to Be Safe Around Water

At the Make A Splash Foundation, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn life-saving water skills, no matter their family's financial situation. Through our scholarship program, we help cover the cost of high-quality survival swim lessons, offered in partnership with local programs in Volusia County.

These lessons are designed for children ages 6 months to 8 years, giving children the confidence and skills to stay safe in and around water. Scholarships are meant for families who truly cannot afford lessons on their own.

We ask that you look over your budget before applying to see if there's anything you could temporarily set aside. If lessons are still out of reach, we encourage you to apply.
