Soon To Be Swimmers

Help me give my students the basic equipment which will greatly aid them in their development.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. DeSino's classroom raised $166

My Project

The students in my class are fortunate to go to a public school that incorporates Swim Class as part of their Physical Education curriculum.

Learning how to Swim is a vital and important Life Skill that once learned this skill will stay with the student.

Learning how to Swim and being introduced to the basic principals of Water Safety is such an important safety skill.

The majority of my students do not know how to swim, have never had a Swim Lesson, are English Language Learners, first generation, special needs, and are lower income.

The swim suits, shampoo, swim caps are basic supplies that many of my students would not be able to obtain.
