Organizations Filed Purposes:
Beyond Barriers Athletic Foundation promotes healthy lifestyles, improves personal safety, and provides structure for lifelong achievement by providing subsidies for aquatic and other athletic programs serving disadvantaged youth. Our goal is to promote accessibility in underserved communities located in the Counties of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara, California (and eventually extending throughout the San Francisco Bay Area) by supporting programs that educate, train, and engage members of the community to be able to safely use existing aquatics facilities and engage in structured athletic activities.
Providing swim lesson subsidies. Our programs in 2020 subsidized swim lessons for economically disadvantaged youth swimmers at pools in Santa Clara, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties. Swimmers paid a co-pay of approximately $5 per lesson directly to the provider, with the remaining fees charged by the swim lesson provider reimbursed to the provider by Beyond Barriers Athletic Foundation.
In 2020 we subsidized youth swim teams at several swimming pools, a youth water polo program at the Belle Haven pool in Menlo Park, after school camps and aquatic activities, and (due to the COVID-19 pandemic shuttering many of the local swimming pools we work with), youth tennis camps. Our subsidy for these structured athletic activities resulted in over 1200 hours of structured athletic activities for economically disadvantaged kids.
In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted our network of providers. Due to local health and safety orders, many swimming pools were closed for most of the year. Most students were engaged in online learning rather than attending physical schools. To support our local providers, and continue to provide the opportunity for structured athletic activities for economically disadvantaged youth, we made a series of one-time grants to our local providers. These one-time grants subsidized new dry land, socially distanced athletic activities for economically disadvantaged youth, including bicycle workshops and other athletic activities to replace school physical education classes and sports teams.
