Josh had drowned while sailing on a lake with friends. The 16­year­old didn't know how to swim, and he wasn't wearing a life jacket. Josh was not alone in the black community. According to USA Swimming, 70% of African­American children cannot swim. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, African­American children between the ages of 5 and 14 are three times more likely to drown than white children in the same age range.

The swimming lessons take place at a local high school over four Saturdays for a total cost of $10.
