Mission

     Assimilation

Through swimming, we assist our families in reaching for the American dream.

 "There is no more supporting or welcoming community in America for at-risk families than the Northern Virginia swim community!  Nationally, high school and college swimmers have the highest grade point averages. They are the best overall students and perfect role models."

-Coach Lopez

Catastrophic Minority Drowning Rates

Nadar Por Vida breaks the severe cycle of drowning among Latinos, minorities and low-income children who are at high-risk. Studies show that Latino and African American children drown at a rate 3 times higher than white children. If neither parent can swim, the rate is 9 times higher.

Childhood Obesity - A Latino tragedy

Today, 23 million children and teenagers are overweight or obese. That is more than 1 in every 3 young people! Latinos are younger and poorer than any other population group.

Nadar Por Vida stresses the importance of a healthy body by learning to swim as a life skill.
