Rising Tide Effect serves youth from underserved communities through swim lessons, workforce training, and water safety awareness campaigns. Our flagship Swim Corps program is a paid workforce and aquatic training initiative that gives young New Yorkers access to water, opportunity, and jobs in the blue economy.

Join us to celebrate what that means — and what comes next.
