Watercrafters Partners with Step Into Swim and Infant Swimming Resource (ISR)

At Watercrafters, our mission has always gone beyond just maintaining and renovating beautiful pools. It’s about creating safe, joyful spaces where families can thrive, laugh, and grow. That’s why we’re proud to announce our support for Step Into Swim. A life-changing initiative that provides learn-to-swim programs for children across the country, and ISR, a leader in survival swimming lessons for children aged 6 months to 6 years.

Step Into Swim, powered by the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, is committed to making sure every child has access to swim education — because swimming isn’t just fun, it’s a life-saving skill. As pool professionals, we see firsthand how important water safety is, and we’re honored to play a part in expanding access to lessons for kids in our own community and beyond.

How We’re Supporting Step Into Swim:

Watercrafters is matching up to the first $1000 in donations for the month of May that is donated directly to the Step Into Swim program.
We’re using our platform to spread awareness about the critical importance of swimming education and drowning prevention along with our vendors and local swimming instruction partnerships.

Watercrafters proudly donated over $500 in merchandise to help raise awareness. Our team members will be proudly wearing Step Into Swim t-shirts every Friday in May to show our support and spark conversations about this vital cause.

Why You Should Consider Supporting Step Into Swim:

100% of donations support learn-to-swim programs for children of all ages and backgrounds.
Free access to the lifesaving skill of learning to swim extends a safe and healthy pool experienced to the communities.
The Pool & Hot Tub Alliance Board of Directors will match every dollar donated.
Step Into Swim has funded 330,000 children across the country since 2012.
Our vendor partner BioGuard has contributed $25,000 to charity.

Partnering with Step Into Swim allows us to give back to our community and our youth. Swimming should be something every child learns and enjoys – safely and confidently. We’re incredibly proud to contribute to a cause that makes a real, lasting impact – one swimmer at a time.
