My Project

Our swim team may be small but it is mighty. My philosophy is that I never want a student to not join a team because they cannot afford gear. I strive to make it so that no athlete has to pay for any competition gear each season. The goggles swim caps and suits in this project will help me meet those goals along with our other fundraising endeavors.

Through our dedication to our swim team and program and working hard to get donations and fundraise more students can not only join our program but also learn to swim.

Half of our swimmers this year could not swim at all on day one and are showing great improvement every single day. It is my goal to grow our program and to be able to say that about even more athletes.
