My Project

We are looking to purchase new swimming parachutes for our varsity swim team. Our team grows every year and in order to keep up we try to purchase more equipment. Purchasing these new parachutes will be give us a better opportunity to give each student a parachute during practice which helps us tremendously with time management. These parachutes are used a many of our practices to help swimmers get stronger and faster in the pool. These parachutes will ultimately help our swimmers to reach all of their goals for the season.
