Swimming & Water Safety
Helping children gain practical skills and confidence around water.
For some children, learning to swim isn’t a childhood milestone. It’s a lifeline.
Around the world, children grow up beside oceans, rivers and lakes without ever having the opportunity to learn how to swim. SwimTayka gives them the skills and confidence to stay safe in the water.

Huanchaco, Peru
What if the ocean was part of your childhood, but nobody had ever taught you how to survive in it?
In Huanchaco, children grow up alongside the Pacific Ocean, while formal swimming lessons are out of reach for many families.
SwimTayka partners with a local NGO to combine survival swimming and environmental education, while training local surf instructors to international standards.
Children gain practical skills for currents and waves, and the knowledge stays within their community.
