Kids Programme

Enabling kids to discover the joy of swimming

Splash Foundation partners with local schools and charities to reach young people aged 8-19 who do not have access to affordable swimming lessons and have had no previous swimming exposure.

With anxiety and academic pressure on the rise and physical activity in decline, access to sports are more important than ever for young people living in Hong Kong. Swimming is particularly unique as it not only keeps people safe, it is a great stress reliever and improves mental health. 

Once learned, swimming is a life-long activity that can be easily enjoyed in Hong Kong with affordable public pool facilities and the surrounding sea.

Swimming is a superpower!

Splash Camp 2024

Summer break is the perfect time to learn a new skill, and especially a skill that opens the door to new experiences!


Splash Camp is free of charge and is open to kids and families receiving government assistance. This summer, over 250 kids, teens and their parents, learned how to swim. The Camp ran everyday Monday-Friday for three weeks (15 classes, 90mins each). 

Splash Camp was generously sponsored by Hong Kong Club Foundation and W F Joseph Lee Primary School.
Thanks to Water World Ocen Park and Living Oceans Education, we were able to provide graduates of Splash Camp exciting water activities where they could use their new swim skills. Splash Camp would not have been possible with the support of our sponsors and pool partners. 

Our engagement and success rate with Splash Camp was incredibly high. We can't wait to work with more sponsors, corporates and community partners to take this to the next level and push swim literacy levels in Hong Kong. Contact us if you want to support Splash Camp 2025!

The Splash Approach

Splash Foundation's Kids Learn to Swim Programme is conducted in a structured but playful environment. While our expectations are high, our coaches are warm, fun and encouraging, ensuring the kids enjoy their time in the water.

Our course focuses on mastering essential skills for water safety and basic forms of forward propulsion. We follow a logical skill progression that makes learning to swim fun, manageable, and empowering. The majority of our instructors are bilingual and can deliver classes in English or Cantonese, depending on the language skills of the students.

We group swimmers by skill level to optimise small group instruction and provide swimmers with a personal, hands-on experience that is tailored to their needs. At the end of the programme, swimmers are assessed on core skills that demonstrate their ability to move confidently in the water.

Are you a school, NGO or local swim school that would like to partner with Splash to delivery our youth swimming programme?  If so, please contact [email protected].
