Limited access to pools, swim lessons, and coaches has long been a deterrent preventing many of lower socio-economic status from participating in the sport of swimming. The foundation develops community outreach programming that includes the full continuum of the swimming experience. The PPA Foundation offers need-based scholarships for water safety education, swim lessons, training and competition.  More information is available at pikespeakathleticsfoundation.org.
