Organisation :
Making Waves Ottawa
Description :
Making Waves Ottawa is a not-for profit student initiative founded as a registered chapter of Making Waves Canada in 2009. Our mission is to provide affordable and accessible one-on-one swimming instruction to children with special needs. Making Waves builds on the institutional strengths and successes of existing swimming lesson organizations. We are able to be more effective in injury prevention by providing lessons specifically targeted and adapted to those children at highest risk of drowning in our society. We recruit our volunteers from the abundance of university-aged, qualified swimming instructors and work with our community partners to properly train, educate and prepare them for the rigours of working with special-needs children. We rent out pool space once a week, batch lessons together and assign one instructor to each child. By using innovative techniques to dramatically cut our operating expenses, as well as by actively fundraising, we are able to offer private swimming instruction at a rate affordable even by those living under the poverty line.
