BRUCKNER CHASE OCEAN POSITIVE, INC  is a non-profit corporation (501c3 Status Pending) that was created to positively impact how others feel, think and act towards the oceans and natural waters around them.  We use open water swimming and training as a vehicle to empower youth as community leaders, lifeguards and mentors.  We develop and oversee long distance ocean adventures to engage communities in the challenges facing the natural waters and ecosystems we all share.  We develop and implement educational and outreach programs within schools and communities around the world focused on ocean conservation and aquatic safety issues.

In 2011 we received our first grant, a Community Services Block Grant from the American Samoa Department of Commerce to design, develop and implement the Bruckner Chase Toa o le Tai youth program.  We celebrate December with the notice that we had received our second grant, a Hollings Grant from the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation for our expedition swim, outreach and documentary initiative, 2 Samoas/ 1 Ocean.
