First Strokes Ltd.

Our Mission:

First Strokes is a not-for-profit that offers free swim lessons to students. It strives to open the world of swimming and water safety to young people who have not had the opportunity to learn to swim. With peers teaching their peers to swim, the joy of the water is spread and a community of students is formed in the pool -- helping prevent future drownings and lessening the fear so many have of the water.
