We know that for many trans and nonbinary people, water spaces haven’t always felt welcoming. From safety concerns to body dysphoria, there are countless reasons queer and gender-diverse community members have been pushed away from pools, beaches, and other places of joy and connection.
One of the biggest and often overlooked barriers? Accessing swimwear that actually affirms who you are.
Pride Across the Bridge is offering East King County residents gender-affirming swimwear reimbursements—up to $70—to help cover the cost of affirming swimwear. This program is first come, first served while funding lasts, so we encourage you to submit your request as soon as possible. Whether it’s a top that makes you feel more at ease, bottoms that help you feel safe, or a one-piece that helps you hold your own, this support is here to help you show up in a way that feels right for you. :)
If there’s swim gear over $70 that would mean a great deal to you, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us at: info@prideacrossthebridge.org.
Each reimbursement will be processed as soon as possible, and you’ll be emailed an electronic gift card to the email address you provide below. All information you share will be kept confidential and only used for the purpose of processing your reimbursement.
Water is for all of us. Let’s reclaim it together! 💦🏳️⚧️
