Potential ideas
1.Host free swim lessons
- Target lower-income schools to give children the
opportunity to learn the basics of swimming and prevent
the risk of drowning or injuries in the pool
- Target Govalle Elementary school kids or other low-income
schools
- Partner up with Emler swim school or YMCA (where the
lesson can be taught at)
- Fundraise for transportation
2. Host a free cpr class for parents
- Target Govalle Elementary parents or other
low-income schools
- Fundraise for CPR classes
- Have parents sign up for classes that are
scheduled at multiple times for a more
accessible class
3. Create a swim safety pamphlet for kids & parents
- Create 2 pamphlets - 1 for children & 1 for adults
- Children Pamphlet:
- Visual infographics to present to children what to do if they fall in
accidently
- Basic swimming techniques (ex: doggy paddle)
- Tips on how to be safe at the pool & open water
- Adult Pamphlet:

the city
