Project Description

Country: USA

Location: Boise, Idaho

Total Budget: $6,250

Area of Focus: Maternal and child health

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: Confidence building and swimming lessons for approximately 100 3rd grade students from low income school.


During the school year the YMCA will bus low income 3rd grade students after school to the YMCA for confidence building exercises and swimming lessons. The funds will pay for the transportation to the YMCA in Boise from the Whittier School in Boise. and for qualified staff to teach. The director of the the YMCA, Cliff Naumann is a club member and two other Rotarians from Boise West and Eagle/Garden City will be actively involved in sign ups and organization.

Whittier is a low income school. Most of the kids' families do not have the resources for more than the bare necessities. Teachers report that participating students are more confident, alert and focused.

Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental deaths for children. Many of the Whittier students will not learn how to swim without this program.

Funds will be used to support approximately 100 students.
