Our Impact – Individuals and Communities

One with the Water®’s approach to swimming lessons goes beyond individual capacity building to include investments in partnerships – local and national. By working closely with dedicated community members such as early childhood educators, teachers, and staff from other local therapy organizations, One with the Water builds strong and lasting relationships within the local communities to ensure long-term sustainability of our work.

When designing Community Impact and Outreach programs, One with the Water completes a thorough assessment to understand both the needs and assets of the community. One with the Water meets the needs of any ethnic or religious group. We are highly sensitive toward our very diverse community. It is our top priority and highest goal to reach as many people as possible who would not otherwise be able to afford swimming lessons and give them the life-skill of swimming. Swimming is not only the most healthy form of exercise, but it is also the most affordable and accessible form of exercise in the world.

By integrating cultures, each program leverages community resources in consultation with expert educators, local partners, and community members, including parents and children.

One with the Water is highly sensitive toward a very diverse community.

Our programs:

  • Foster the physical, mental, and social development of children to teach important values and life skills, especially the life-skill of swimming;
  • Educate and mobilize communities around health and disease and prevention and care;
  • Teach conflict resolution and peace building skills. Participation in regular activities facilitates the healing of communities and reintegration of children affected by conflicts; and
  • Create change and have a sustainable impact. We work in partnership with local organizations to build community infrastructure through the engagement of local staff and volunteers.

One with the Water’s Swimming Lesson Programs incorporate a methodology that uses swimming as a tool for learning in four areas: education, health, conflict resolution, and community development.

Kiewit graciously donated to our cause by assisting us with training for our Autism Service Dog, “Gum Drop”, in loving memory of our beloved “Token.” “Just as a rock is not shaken by a strong or sudden gust of wind, neither should we be affected by praise or success. We must not be satisfied with our past accomplishments and we should make every effort to improve and expand our operations – but only in an orderly and beneficial manner… a company cannot stand still for long – either it goes ahead or it slides back.” ~ Peter Kiewit, 1964
