Breaking Down Barriers, with Wapiti wellness society.

One of the accomplishments we are most proud of is continuing to make adaptive swimming more accessible to families in our community.

Through our partnership with Wapiti Wellness Society, we have been able to help reduce financial barriers and provide subsidies so more participants can access individualized aquatic instruction.

Here are some of the board members of Wapiti Wellness Society that have also supported important community initiatives, including contributions toward accessible equipment and opportunities that strengthen inclusion.

Behind every subsidy is a participant who deserves an opportunity, a family receiving support, and a chance for someone to discover what they can do.

We believe financial circumstances should not be the reason someone misses out on an opportunity to learn and grow.

Thank you to the supporters, donors, and community partners who help make this possible!

Every journey starts somewhere. This photo takes us back to a moment in the early days of Rise Above Aquatics, when we were building a vision around inclusion, individualized instruction, and helping every participant find success in the water.

Looking back, we are so proud of how far that vision has grown. Thank you to every family, participant, instructor, and community supporter who has been part of our story.

This is just the beginning of celebrating our journey and we have so much more to share!”
