Action based on the research of Dr. Lucas Salles-Cunha to increase swimming participation in under represented communities. This website provides educational resources and funding sources to make swimming possible in areas that traditionally have not had the opportunity to swim.

Understanding Water is a mission-driven brand dedicated to expanding access to swimming. Through apparel sales, donations, and community partnerships, we raise funds and provide essential swimming services to areas that do not have regular access to pools or aquatic programs. Our goal is to break down barriers, bring swimming opportunities to underrepresented communities, and create lasting pathways for health, safety, and performance in the water.

This is not a short term solution, it is a long term commitment to building facilities and helping children swim at a young age, graduate to a swim team and then provide employment opportunities where they give back. It is a positive cycle that increases swimming participation.
