Waves of Resilience Network LLC PARTNERS WITH HOPE FLOATS FOUNDATION TO PROVIDE LOCAL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR SWIM LESSONS
Jacksonville, FL October 1, 2026
Waves of Resilience Network LLC is pleased to announce it has become an official swim school partner of Hope Floats Foundation.
Hope Floats Foundation is a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to prevent drownings by providing scholarships for swim lessons. Hope Floats partners with local communities to offer financial need-based scholarships at over 300 swim school locations in 40 states. Waves of Resilience Network is joining forces with Hope Floats to provide scholarships for swim lessons for children in Jacksonville, FL, who otherwise do not have access.
The equivalent of thirteen school buses full of children die each year in the United States due to drowning. Studies at the National Institute of Health show that swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88%.
“There’s a huge need for swim lessons, and the kids that need them the most – lower socio-economic level kids – they’re not getting them,” said Cindy Tonnesen, founder of the Hope Floats Foundation. She continued, “We are saving kids, but there are more we need to reach, and we have the ability and resources to do it.”
The vision is bigger than lessons
Waves of Resilience Network LLC provides private and small group lessons in Jacksonville, Florida. We travel to you and we teach any age and ability.
