      How to Participate in PHTA’s Step Into Swim Program





      Did you know learning to swim reduces the risk of drowning by 88%?!

      The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance (PHTA) is committed to creating water safety awareness – and creating more swimmers. The Step Into Swim initiative is a program created to educate families on pool/water safety and provide the lifesaving skill of learning to swim.

      With Olympic medalist Rowdy Gaines at the helm, Step Into Swim has invested in the next generation of swimmers and supports learn-to-swim programs that provide children (and their families) of all ages and backgrounds with the lifesaving skill of learning to swim. Step Into Swim helps extend a safe and healthy pool experience to underserved communities through free access to swimming lessons.
