Start the Ripple


One small action can save a life


What if one small action could save a life?


This May, during Water Safety Month, we’re not just launching a campaign...


We’re starting a ripple.



At Every Child a Swimmer, we believe that every child deserves the chance to learn how to swim because swimming isn’t just a sport…

It’s a life-saving skill.


And yet, drowning remains the #1 cause of death for children ages 1–4.

This month, we’re inviting you to be part of something meaningful.


The truth is.....

this is preventable.


One lesson.


One child.


One ripple that can change everything.


To create impact that goes far beyond what you can see.


👉 Follow along, share our message, and help us Start the Ripple.


Because together, we can imagine a world…


Until Every Child Swims.

Every Child a Swimmer



“You are part of the ripple.”

This is what a ripple looks like in action.

Here’s how the ripple creates impact:

Ripples grow stronger

when we work together.


When we think about what children in foster care need, we think about safety, dignity, and opportunity. This May, we’re expanding that definition, because safety doesn’t stop at the front door. We are proud to partner with Comfort Cases to ensure that water safety becomes part of the conversation for the children who need it most. Through this collaboration with Every Child a Swimmer, we are working to close the gap and provide access to swim lessons and water safety education.

Why This Matters


Drowning remains one of the leading causes of death for young children, yet water safety is often overlooked, especially for youth in the foster care system.


Every child deserves the chance to be safe in and around water.


Every child deserves confidence. Protection. Opportunity.


Together, we are making sure this life-saving skill does not fall through the cracks.


This is what collaboration looks like

This is how the ripple continues to grow.

Walk to End Drowning – Save the Date


Join the Movement

We are proud to share that the 3rd Annual WITI Walk benefitting the Every Child a Swimmer program will take place on October 25th.


This year, there will be both in-person and virtual participation options, making it possible for anyone, anywhere to get involved.


We encourage you to start thinking about forming a team and participating in a way that works for you, whether you walk, run, bike, or support from afar. Every step taken helps raise awareness and save lives.


Why It Matters

All funds raised are matched three times, meaning a $1 donation becomes a $3 impact toward providing life-saving swim lessons.


This event has the potential to grow into a nationwide annual movement, creating a ripple effect of change across communities.


Save the date, more details, including registration and sponsorship opportunities, will be announced soon.


Join us. Move with purpose. Help us walk to end drowning.
