Swimming is a life skill
Fluid Motion’s mission is to provide the highest quality swim lessons to the masses, with a special interest in giving free swim lessons to those from at-risk demographics for drowning.
*Back-to-back swim lessons will be discounted $10
We would be naïve to think that swimming is not a microcosm of our society. Due to a number of historical events, including the segregation of pools and limitation of Black swimmers, swimming, like society, fostered systemic racism. While swimming has come a long way, we acknowledge that our progress has been much too slow. There is still much work to be done and it will take continued awareness, advocacy, and hard work in all our communities.

Contested Waters
Few, if any, municipalities in the United States could overcome prejudice and violence to bring races together in the same way the pools had united, women and children of various social classes earlier in the 20th century.
– Jeff Wiltse, author of Contested Waters: A Social History of Swimming Pools in America.
With each purchase of a Contested Waters package a free group swim lesson will be gifted to a minority/ low-income swimmer from an at-risk demographic for drowning.
