What We Do
We bring water safety to your community.
Current of Hope doesn't wait for families to find us — we go to them. Our traveling Water Safety Fairs bring certified instructors, trusted community partners, and life-saving education directly to public and community pools across South Florida. And through our growing national partner network, we connect special needs families everywhere to the right swim lesson providers — and help cover the cost.
Flagship Program
Traveling Water Safety Fairs
Our signature event is a free, two-hour Saturday Water Safety Fair held at public and community pools throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties. We bring the whole village — certified swim instructors, live music, home pool safety education, and a lineup of trusted local partners — right to your neighborhood pool.
What's at every fair:
- Live music to create a welcoming, joyful atmosphere
- Certified swim instructors in the water with kids
- Home pool safety lesson for every family
- Pool fence & barrier partner demonstrations
- Pool service partners with safety tips and resources
- County water safety partners: Palm Beach Drowning Prevention, Broward Swim Central, YMCA, British Swim School, and more
Fair Partners & Community Organizations
At Every Fair
Home Pool Safety Education
Drowning doesn't only happen at public pools. Every family with a home pool receives a dedicated safety lesson at our fairs — covering barriers, alarms, supervision strategies, and what to do in an emergency. Our pool fence and pool service partners are on-site to answer questions and provide resources.
- Pool fence and barrier requirements and best practices
- Pool alarm systems and door/gate locks
- Supervision rules and the "water watcher" role
- CPR basics and emergency response
- Connecting families with local fence and service providers
National Initiative
Special Needs Partner Network
Finding a swim instructor who truly understands your child's needs shouldn't be a guessing game. We're building a national database of vetted swim lesson providers — every partner must have a demonstrated special needs focus. Parents can search by location and find a trusted instructor near them.
For families who can't afford lessons, Current of Hope provides subsidized instruction through our partner network — because cost should never be the reason a child doesn't learn to be safe in the water.
- Vetted providers with verified special needs experience
- Searchable by location — currently Florida, expanding nationally
- Subsidized lessons available for qualifying families
- Partners include adaptive aquatics specialists, therapy pools, and certified instructors
- Families apply directly through Current of Hope
