About us
We’re on a mission to make swimming accessible to every child.
Every child deserves the chance to learn to swim, whatever their family’s finances. Just Keep Swimming Project exists to make that chance real.
Our story
Where it all started
Just Keep Swimming Project began in the summer of 2023 as a passion project. Our founder, Clinton, was a high school freshman at the time.
It started with one belief. Access to swim lessons shouldn’t depend on a family’s ability to pay. Clinton saw that need in his own community and decided to do something about it.
With support from local communities, swim clubs, volunteers, and donors, that passion project has grown into a nonprofit organization serving communities across Georgia.
Today we bring together swim instructors, volunteers, families, and community partners so children can learn essential water-safety skills in a supportive, encouraging setting. And we’re just getting started.

Our mission
To provide free swim lessons and water-safety education to underserved children while creating opportunities for confidence, growth, and community.
Our vision
A world where every child has the skills, resources, and support they need to be safer and more confident around water.
