Water Smart FL Swim Lessons

Do you have a child age 4 or younger? Your family may qualify for FREE swim lessons through Florida’s Swimming Lesson Voucher Program with the Florida Department of Health (DOH)!
The Swim Lesson Voucher Program is accepting voucher applications from August 4, 2025–September 1, 2025. The purpose of this program is to increase water safety and prevent drowning in Florida by providing free swimming lessons to eligible Florida families.
The Florida legislature provided additional funding for vouchers this year, requiring eligible families with a child with autism, and eligible families who are in active military status applications to be processed first.
