Swim 4 Success is a student run, non-profit organization in New Orleans that provides free swim lessons to low income kids. We recruit Tulane, Loyola, and local high school students to be volunteer instructors. Each lesson is an hour long. We have three lessons every Sunday of the semester adding up to eight lessons.
This year we will have 15 children per lesson adding up to a total of 45 children per semester. All children are ages 4-16 and receive free or reduced lunch at school. The program is especially effective because we have a one to one student to teacher ratio. Our website is Swim4Success.org.
