Jim Lupient Water Park
Since July of 2003, Northeast Minneapolis area families have had the opportunity to learn to swim. The Lupient Foundation has made scholarships available for families who can’t afford the cost of swimming lessons. Jim Lupient, raised in Northeast Minneapolis, was approached with the need of swimming programs for local families.
In recognition of the $50,000 annual financial commitment from the Lupient Foundation, The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board held a ceremony in July of 2003 to change the name of the Northeast Water Park to Jim Lupient Water Park. The water park offers a Lupient Summer Swim Program which provides swimming lessons, water safety and water exploration for economically disadvantaged Minneapolis youth.
Learn to Swim Scholarships provide passes to swimming lessons at the Jim Lupient Water Park. Additionally, the Aqua Stars program rewards youth who perform good deeds and their community and perform well at school. The Learn to Swim scholarships are printed in Hmong, Somali and Spanish. They are available though the Minneapolis park system and social service agencies. Swimming is a lifelong skill as well as a healthy recreational activity. The Lupient family’s hope is that all children who desire to swim have access to Minneapolis pools, lessons and water fun.
