PDFSD is thrilled to announce impacts thru September 30, 2022 in San Diego County
- Funded over 26 grants with over 8,000 youth participants
- Partnered with 18 local non-profits
- Programs provided at 26 pools in San Diego County

- Implemented programs provided in San Diego County as far North as San Marcos, South as San Ysidro, and East to Borrego Springs

In addition, this past year PDFSD ramped up parent and toddler swim workshops, dryland education, bridged safety lessons at the pools to the open water, junior pool guard swim lessons, pool guard recruit swim lessons, and intergenerational swim lessons
We eliminated cultural, financial, and logistical barriers to thousands of children across San Diego County and equipped the next generation of lifeguards with the swimming skills needed to help save even more lives. Our many accomplishments were made possible through a multisectoral effort and the continued support of those who donated, volunteered and helped to share their knowledge of water safety education with others.
