Pikes Peak Athletics Foundation
Reducing financial barriers that may inhibit those of all skill levels from achieving success as swimmers.
The Pikes Peak Athletics Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing financial barriers that can prevent individuals of all skill levels from finding success in swimming. For many families, limited access to pools, swim lessons, and qualified coaches has made it difficult to participate in the sport. Our Foundation creates community outreach programs that support every stage of the swimming journey—from water safety education and learn-to-swim classes to advanced training and competition. Most of our programming takes place at the Pikes Peak Athletics Training Center and is supported by the talented team of instructors and coaches there. We are proud to offer need-based scholarships to ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive in the water.

Foundation Application Update
Thanks to the incredible support of our community, our Foundation has been able to provide swim lesson scholarships to many families in need this season. At this time, we are not accepting new applications as our current funds are fully committed. We’re so grateful to be part of a community that values water safety and access for all children. We hope to reopen applications in the future as additional funding becomes available—please check back for updates!
- Swim Lessons
The Pikes Peak Athletics (PPA) swim lesson program is located in central Colorado Springs in our new world class training center. Our program features experienced instructors with the goal of teaching fun, safety, and stroke technique in a warm-water pool. We want your swimmers to be confident, comfortable and efficient setting them up for a life-time of success in the water. Swim lessons are offered to children age 6 months to adults of all levels, ranging from beginner to advanced stroke instruction in both group and private lesson settings. As our lesson swimmers graduate levels we offer pre-swim team and competitive swim team opportunities.
