Step Into Swim Announces Partnership with Foss Swim School 

Step Into Swim, a nonprofit initiative of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance dedicated to creating more swimmers through safe swim education, announced a partnership with Foss Swim School. 

The school’s substantial donation and a direct match for this gift from the PHTA board of directors will help Step Into Swim offer a grant to Foss Swim School’s scholarship program. The grant will provide 13,000 free or low-cost swim lessons that will give children in six Midwest states — Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin — access to the lifesaving skill of learning to swim.

“Jon and Susan Foss are innovators in the swim safety world who have impacted millions of lives with their quality swim instruction over the last 30 years,” says Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines, PHTA vice president of partnerships & development, who leads the Step Into Swim initiative. “It’s inspiring to find a program like Foss that believes in safe swimming just as much as we do.”
