America’s Swimming Pool Company, a national pool care franchise, has teamed up with OneWorld Health to provide a clean water source to hospitals in East Africa and Central America. To help support this cause, local ASP franchise owners are becoming clean water advocates and educating their customers and community about the global water crisis. In addition to public awareness, ASP is dedicated to making significant improvements for those living without access to clean water. The company has launched an ongoing fundraising campaign to raise $500,000 toward Clean Water Matters over the next five years. This will provide a clean water source to 10 new hospitals around the world.
In celebration of the Clean Water Matters fundraising initiative, the company is offering a one-day giving marathon to support this cause — ASP Day of Giving. On Oct. 5, join the Clean Water Matters movement by giving monetary donations, learn about volunteer opportunities or help share the word by becoming an ambassador for clean water.

“We feel called to do something more,” says Thomas P. Swift, Jr., president and COO of America’s Swimming Pool Company. “Clean Water Matters provides us with the opportunity to create a better, cleaner future.”
ASP has been committed to clean water since its founding in 2002. Both ASP and OneWorld Health believe that one’s birth country should not determine ability to access basic healthcare. Since 2017, the two organizations have joined forces to bring clean water to the healthcare setting of the developing world.
“In partnership, relationship is everything, and we believe we need to be working with like-minded folks,” says Michael O’Neal, executive director of OneWorld Health. “What we’ve seen with ASP and the way they run their business is exactly what we are looking for in a partnership. We are looking for people who recognize they have a platform to tell a story that’s much bigger than themselves.”
