Support World Swim Day!

Supporting World Swim Day means you share our passion for the water. You believe in humanity’s equal right to learn how to swim and wish to empower people around the world to be active in the water.

World Swim Day was initially conceived within MySwimPro, Inc. to increase participation in swimming and promote water safety inclusive of geography, language, and skills. In the first year, World Swim Day saw participation from swimmers in over 100 countries and funds were raised for three learn-to swim non-profit organizations. The international event is more than a virtual swim, but also serves as an opportunity to connect a global community that shares a mutual passion for the water.

World Swim Day is supported by MySwimPro, the largest digital community of swimmers in the world. The international event is also supported by globally-minded companies with shared values that include empowering a healthy lifestyle through swimming and promoting water safety. We hope World Swim Day continues to inspire and empower people around the world to be active in the water.

The MySwimPro app is available in the following languages to empower people to swim around the world!

• English
• Spanish
• French
• German
• Portuguese
