Benjamin Hair Just Swim for Life

Waterproofing Our Community, Saving Lives

What is BH-JSL?

The Benjamin Hair Just Swim for Life Foundation (BH-JSL) makes swimming education accessible to all. We believe every child — and now teens and adults, too — should learn water safety and basic swim skills.

Swimming saves lives, builds confidence, and fosters a lifelong love of the water.

About Us

Our Impact

4,000+ drowning deaths occur annually in the U.S.
Drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1–4.
70% of African American children and 58% of Hispanic/Latino children cannot swim.
BH-JSL programs work to close this gap by teaching lifesaving skills in our community.
