Overview
Mission
No more under is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to saving lives by advancing water safety education, equitable access to swim lessons, and strong advocacy efforts. We believe swimming is not just a sport. Swimming is a vital life-saving skill. Our goal is to redefine how society views water safety and create a welcoming aquatic community where everyone feels safe and included.
What it reported doing in 2025
2025 was a truly special year for No More Under, filled with energy, growth, and hundreds of confident, smiling swimmers. We are not just teaching swim skills. We are teaching life-saving skills. In 2025, we supported nearly 800 swimmers, over 4,000 lessons, engaged over 200 volunteers, and held programs in three states and 16 locations. We continue to intentionally engage families throughout our programs, ensuring that parents and caregivers leave with practical water safety knowledge and tools they can use every day. No More Under was not just busy with lessons, but also in research related to water safety and drowning prevention. In partnership with the Oregon Social Learning Center (OSLC), we conducted a Washington state study to better understand willingness and barriers to water safety education through schools; the findings were published in Injury Prevention (BMJ). Our Swim Safely Series was featured in the International Journal of Aquatic Research and Education. Co-authored by No More Under team members, the paper positions the program as an innovative, equity-centered model addressing childhood drowning and racial disparities in aquatic access. No More Under is also happy to share that we are partnering with the CDC Foundation to formally evaluate the effectiveness of the Swim Safely Series, measuring both safety outcomes and community impact.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
