Beyond Barriers Athletic Foundation promotes healthy lifestyles, improves personal safety, and adds structure for lifelong achievement by providing scholarships for aquatic programs to underserved youth.
According to a USA Swimming Foundation survey, updated in 2017, two-thirds of African-American children, nearly half of Latino and four in ten white kids have little to no swimming ability. Nearly eight in ten children from households earning less than $50,000 per year have little to no swimming ability. The families we serve need access to a local pool and ease of funding for these vital lessons for the safety of their children.
BBAF’s programs are located at neighborhood providers and pools who partner with us.
