Project Title: Tankproof: Saving 1 Life at a Time
Project Description:

Tankproof is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free swimming lessons to low-income children aged 5-18 years old. The organization’s proposed summer programming under the OUT OF SCHOOL section is designed to address a critical need within the community and has a profound impact on the lives of the children it serves.

Proposed Programming:

Free Swimming Lessons: Tankproof offers comprehensive and high-quality swimming lessons to children aged 5-18. These lessons encompass a range of skill levels, from beginners who have never been in the water to more advanced swimmers looking to improve their abilities.

Life Skills: Beyond teaching children how to swim, Tankproof incorporates essential life skills into the program. These skills include water safety, basic first aid, and the importance of physical fitness. By instilling these skills, Tankproof not only enhances the children’s swimming abilities but also equips them with knowledge that can potentially save lives.

Mentorship: The program includes mentorship opportunities, connecting young participants with experienced instructors who can serve as positive role models. This mentorship goes beyond the pool, helping children build confidence, self-esteem, and a sense of belonging in their community.

Inclusivity: Tankproof is committed to ensuring that every child, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to learn to swim. The program is inclusive and accommodates children with disabilities, making it accessible to a diverse range of participants.

Summer Camp Experience: Tankproof’s summer programming extends beyond swimming lessons. It provides a holistic summer camp experience that includes fun activities, team-building exercises, and educational components, ensuring that the children have an enriching and enjoyable summer.
