Why Swim Freedom "54" ?
Everyone should know how to swim.
Not knowing how to swim leaves many non-swimmers vulnerable to the possibility of drowning when at or near a pool, lake or ocean. Many non-swimmers deny themselves the pleasure of being near the the water because they have never learned this important skill.
According to the CDC (2024), 55% of the U.S. population does not know to swim. The "54" in our name represented the percentage of people who do not know how to swim but sadly, in 2024, that percentage has risen to 55%.
