This year, more young people graduated from Swim Corps than ever before. Hundreds more learned to swim for the first time. Many of them had never been in a pool. Some had never felt safe near water. All of them changed.

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.
