Confidence doesn’t happen overnight, but small steps, support systems, and positive habits can make a meaningful difference.
It’s okay to take a moment, take a breath, and check in with yourself. 💚

Rec & Parks is living an Olympic-sized moment.
We are honored to partner with the Michael Phelps Foundation to bring water safety and mental health training to Baltimore City’s youth.
The Foundation brought Rec & Parks aquatics staff to Phoenix, AZ for skills training and to meet the GOAT himself.
May is National Water Safety Month so we are especially grateful to the Michael Phelps Foundation for helping us enrich the health and wellness of Charm City residents.
The #Baltimore Renaissance continues!

A perspective we don’t often hear - losing a sibling to drowning.
Nicole and Michael Phelps have met many amazing families through the Michael Phelps Foundation, and Nathaniel’s story is a reminder that drowning doesn’t just impact parents, it changes entire families forever.
“Drowning awareness needs to be as important as stranger danger.”

Olympian @m_phelps00 reveals his Taylor Swift bracelet and wins award @forbes@forbesunder30 Summit. Amazing, brutally honest talk. #michaelphelps #taylorswift #beyourself #under30summit #forbes
Michael Phelps shares the progress of his foundation and explains it will never be enough.
Alissa Magrum, Executive Director of National Drowning Prevention Alliance, explains how teaching kids about water safety changes as they grow. Every age has its lessons, because drowning is fast, silent, and preventable.
Every conversation, every lesson, and every layer of protection matters. Together, we can protect more children and give them the gift of safe, joyful experiences in the water.
