Our Mission
The Braçada Olímpica Project is a social transformation initiative that has been making waves for three years, positively impacting children in need. Our program goes beyond swimming, incorporating healthcare and cultural activities to help children grow and dream big.
Each child in our program receives professional swim gear, empowering them to perform at their best. We don't just teach swimming techniques; we instill confidence and self-belief, both in and out of the pool.
Our Impact
Transforming lives through swimming since 2019
Children Impacted
Children from underprivileged communities who have participated in the program since its inception.
Swimming Benefits
Swimming practice as a reference for a healthy life, strengthening skills that reduce drowning rates. Works the entire body, strengthens joints, improves breathing, promotes socialization and fights stress while improving memory.
Social Inclusion
Inclusion of children and youth in social environments that promote expansion to new general and cultural knowledge.
Educational and Health
We offer speech therapy, educational activities and health programs to ensure the comprehensive development of participating children.
Cultural Activities
We promote artistic and cultural activities such as painting, museum visits and performances, expanding children's cultural horizons beyond swimming.
