SwimRVA Summer Camps are part of SwimRVA, a nonprofit organization that operates as a community hub for aquatics in the Richmond region. SwimRVA’s mission is to transform lives through aquatics and to build a Drownproof Richmond, with a focus on access and equity for people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. Every camper at SwimRVA Summer Camps receives swim lessons, and SwimRVA also offers other programs such as Learn-to-Swim, Swim School, and Autism Swims. SwimRVA began as the Greater Richmond Aquatics Partnership, a collaboration of five educational and youth sport leaders. The organization works with civic leaders, schools, community groups, and partners including the YMCA, the Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs, and Virginia State University, and together with the YMCA of Greater Richmond provides every second grader in the community the opportunity to learn how to swim. The leadership team includes Adam Kennedy (Executive Director), Scott Bennett (Director of Communications), Kirk Chamberlain (Director of Facilities), Debbie Kelo, Ph.D. (Director of Programs), and Sean Gaffney (Director of Life Safety).
