NESPA Foundation Expands Partnership with Step Into Swim

Step Into Swim, an initiative of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance dedicated to creating more swimmers through safe swim education, announced the Northeast Spa & Pool Association Foundation has become a Diamond-level supporter following a $100,000 donation. The NESPA Foundation presented this donation to Step Into Swim during The Pool & Spa Show powered by NESPA in Atlantic City, New Jersey, continuing its multiyear commitment to increasing access to lifesaving swim lessons in and around the Northeast.

“Through the NESPA Foundation’s incredible dedication to our mission, we were able to invest nearly $500,000 to NESPA communities and provide 6,000 children with the lifesaving gift of swim lessons last year,” says Rowdy Gaines, Olympic gold medalist and PHTA vice president of partnerships and development.

The NESPA Foundation connects people with aquatic education to foster improved health and a lifelong love of aquatics. For the past two years, the NESPA Foundation has fulfilled a matching program that helps to quadruple the funding provided to Step Into Swim.
