P.S.9 The Sarah Smith Garnet School

Beginning in 2023, our pilot program with P.S.9 The Sarah Smith Garnet School in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn, and the Chelsea Piers Foundation has seamlessly integrated water safety education and swimming lessons into the entire third grade’s school day. This collaboration addresses a void where physical education classes are not conducted throughout the year. It demonstrates the program's potential for broader impact, offering the opportunity to expand to more Title I schools, thereby significantly increasing our reach and positively impacting more young lives.
