What Swim Up Inc does
Mission
Swim Up provides free water safety and swim instruction to students from historically underserved and low-income communities in Ward 8 of Washington, D.C. Swim Up provides all equipment, transportation, and lessons at no cost or burden to families by incorporating our program into two independent, tuition-free schools that serve low-income families. Swim Up strives to increase equitable access to life-saving swim lessons to children who may not otherwise have the opportunity. Additionally, Swim Up provides information for students on different aquatic opportunities to increase diversity in aquatic sports, engages with professional athletes in the community, and has partnered with community members such as the Howard University Swim and Dive Team and Diversity in Aquatics. Each student receives American Red Cross-approved and USA Swimming-approved swim instruction, water safety instruction from Certified Potomac Valley Swim Coach volunteers.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Swim Up provided a full year of water safety and swim instruction as a part of the third through fifth grade curriculums to students from Bishop Walker School for Boys and the sixth through eighth grades at Washington School for Girls at no cost to families. Each cohort received eight consecutive weeks of swim class, resulting in passing an American Red Cross water safety swim test. Students received swimsuits and googles at no cost, and transportation is provided to and from the pool at no cost to the schools or families. This was the first year we added Washington School for Girls to our program as a part of their after-school programming.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $6k to $3k (−54%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of SWIM UP INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of SWIM UP INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $152 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
