Youth Programme (Kids & Teens)
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.

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].
