Programs That Make a Difference
Comfortable. Capable. Confident.
At the Michael Phelps Foundation, we help kids develop the comfort and confidence they need to succeed in and out of the water. Our programs combine essential water safety with life skills like goal setting, mental health awareness, and healthy living.
Our goal is to equip children with everything they need to feel comfortable, capable, and confident in everyday life.
The IM Program
Our IM Program is at the heart of what we do. It’s not just about swim lessons. It’s a balanced approach to physical and mental well-being that helps kids feel ready for whatever comes their way.
Sharing a mission to bring the power of swimming to individuals of all abilities, our IM Program is the Official Swimming Program for Special Olympics. The program promotes inclusion, personal growth, and a lifelong love of swimming.
Since becoming a Special Olympics Global Ambassador in 2011, Michael Phelps has helped launch a worldwide collaboration that has benefited thousands of people in 38 countries.
Strengthening
Community Ties
Our outreach initiatives bring the message of water safety and wellness to families, schools, and communities nationwide.
We design personalized programs for every community, and the feedback we get highlights the positive change we’re creating by building a safer, healthier future for everyone involved.
