CHICAGO - s4story -- A few months ago, Swim Up Hill announced a partnership with Soweto Swim School to expand access to swim education in South Africa, including the possibility of developing an additional community swimming facility that would increase access to life-saving water safety programs (press release).

Since then, something incredible has happened.

International partnerships are in place. Community support is secured. The final piece of the puzzle is an aviation partner eager to help advance our global water safety mission to teach one million people around the world how to swim.

The mission is ready, and so are the communities. Now, the only thing missing is a way to get there.

We're looking for an aviation partner who believes that geography should never determine whether a child has access to life-saving swim education and opportunity. One flight could help connect Los Angeles and South Africa, strengthen an international partnership, and help create a future where more young people grow up safe, confident, and empowered around the water.

It's about helping the right people get to the right place.
