The greatest swimmer of all time, Olympic Gold medallist Michael Phelps, will take the plunge later this year to host a swim clinic for 100 kids to benefit the Child Abuse Prevention Program.

The charity auction – which ends today, May 7 – gives winning bidders entry for one child into the swim clinic to be hosted by Michael Phelps and entrance for two adult chaperones to accompany the child. The experience is further enhanced outside the pool, where participants will receive a photo with the swimming legend and a hand-signed piece of memorabilia. The date of the clinic is yet to be announced but will be held in the New York area sometimes this summer. Duration will be an hour and a half.

The Child Abuse Prevention Program’s mission is to ensure that all children receive their basic right to safety so that they can have the opportunity to grow and thrive.
