According to the
CDC, about ten people drown every day, the majority of whom are
adults.
The USMS Swimming Saves Lives Foundation (SSLF) works hard to
reduce these risks by serving as a financial and educational
resource for programs nationwide that provide adult learn-to-swim
lessons. Since 2012, SSLF has awarded more than $550,000 in grants
to adult learn-to-swim providers and programs. Thousands of adults
across the country have benefitted from lessons taught by our
program partners, thanks to generous contributions from USMS
members and other supporters.
In 2019 the Easton YMCA received $1100 and in 2020 it will receive $1975 for its Adult-Learn-to-Swim (ALTS) classes through the sponsorship of Talbot Masters.
Talbot Masters thanks USMS for its generous support toward its YMCA Aquatics Program.
