Swim Seattle is an initiative that combines the efforts of Associated Recreation Council, Seattle Parks & Recreation and other community partners to remove financial barriers from learning to swim .
Swim Seattle began in 2023 as a pilot by providing a year of free lessons to a cohort of 250 youth. It prioritizes access to those who cannot afford lessons, while also providing workshops to support children and their families in becoming comfortable swimmers and water-safe.
