“The problem was an inequity in the way youth had resources to access basic swimming lessons. The solution was to start a foundation to provide the resources for any child who did not have the financial means to learn how to swim. So was born, Beyond Barriers Athletic Foundation.”– Tim Sheeper, BBAF Ambassador
“BBAF provides an extremely positive water experience. Not only does BBAF create opportunities to develop fitness, strength, and balance through swimming lessons they also develop self-esteem. As a parent, I just want to thank BBAF for creating and sustaining access to our local pool.”– Jennifer, BBAF Mom
“We’ve made so many friends here at the pool. It’s been good for my kids and also for me. And after I saw how much fun my children were having, I decided to learn how to swim too. It’s never too late!” – Maria, BBAF Mom
“Thank you to the wonderful people at Beyond Barriers Athletic Foundation and donors like you that make this possible for families like mine.” – Tina, BBAF Mom
“Thank you so much BBAF! Just excited we got to teach the kids.”– Steve, Belle Haven Pool
“Thank you so much! We are so grateful, and I can’t tell you how rewarding it is to see the students’ confidence and water skills grow.” – Kate, Presidio Y
“My life would not be as amazing without swimming!” – Kate, BBAF Swimmer
