The USA Swimming Foundation’s mission is to save lives, build champions, and impact communities; one of the ways we do this is by working to provide opportunities to learn to swim. In partnership with U.S. Masters Swimming, the Adult Learn to Swim Grant Application is open to all swim instructors, facilities, and programs wanting to increase the number of adults who are safer around water, with a goal to reduce adult drowning risk through education, financial support, and community outreach. The program's hope is that once adults learn to swim or improve their swimming skills, they will have the confidence and desire to continue swimming in a U.S. Masters Swimming program and experience the lifelong benefits of swimming.

Adult Learn to Swim Grants are intended to expand current programming to reach under-served and under-represented populations and communities that would not otherwise learn to swim.  Interested applicants must meet the program requirements as outlined in the Adult Learn-to-Swim Grant Guidelines.

*ALTS funds are not intended to provide budget relief, support facility overhead, construction or renovation, aid in the purchase of material goods (including equipment, apparel, etc.), or be used for advertising, promotional, or marketing purposes.  Requests for any funding categories other than those listed in the bullets above will immediately be deemed ineligible.
