The Wings Project

Our mission is to make a difference in lives through the gift of swimming. We love taking go trips and being able to work with the kids over a week-long period. However, we want to go a step further. We want the children to experience continuous lessons to increase their confidence in the water.

My Aunt Edie who has been a pillar to Swim to Success passed away months after our first trip. In honor of her, we have launched The Wings Project. Our mission with the Wings Project is to "say yes". Yes to more.  

Within the Wings Project, we are teaching how to teach. Our instructors at Wings over Water and the university students at Corazon de Vida are working together to make this possible. In Phase One of Swim to Success, we had 4 university students get to work with instructors and learn the techniques and skills for teaching how to swim.  In Phase Two, we brought back two university students to continue developing their skills along with new students who began their teaching journey. 

Our vision is to develop more swim programs in Mexico in which our trained university students teach the lessons. This would make an incredible difference in the lives of the student-teachers, children, and the community itself.
