Swim Team

Help me give my students swim caps, goggles, stop watches and a poolside timer for interval training.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Caswell's classroom raised $256

This project is fully funded

My Project

Help me provide my students with a clock for the side of our pool that allows swimmers to keep track of their workouts. My swimmers also need caps to get ready for meets, a spare pair of goggles to be available in case someone's break or get forgotten for a meet. They also need stop watches to time their splits and races as they push towards championship meets and whistles that can be heard in the pool for starts at practice.

Swim season is upon us and my swimmers need to be ready to compete in the next few weeks.

They need the equipment necessary to improve their skills and speed and a poolside timer and stopwatches will help them continue to improve their competitive performance.
