Our Story

Inspired by Dr. Charles van der Horst, a dedicated physician and humanitarian, Swim for Charlie was established to honor his legacy. Following his tragic passing during a marathon swim, friends and fellow swimmers came together to create a nonprofit focused on improving the health and safety of vulnerable populations, especially children.

Our Impact

Since launching in spring 2020, Swim for Charlie has educated 1,579 students across 19 schools. With plans to reach an additional 650 students in spring 2024, the initiative is making significant strides in water safety education within the community.
