As a lifelong swimmer, I know the joy the water can bring. I also know the peace that it brings to the mind and the body. Many students in Philadelphia never learn to swim as pools are not accessible to all and indoor pools are a rarity.
Help me provide our swim club and team with caps, goggles and bags to carry their swim gear back and forth to school in.
Our swimmers need the proper gear to maximize their potential. Swimmers should not be sharing caps and goggles and some of our old goggles don't even keep the water out of their eyes anymore as they are well past their useful life. Some of my girls don't fit in the traditional sizes and need larger swim suits to feel comfortable and confident in the pool. And we need a team bag to take stopwatches, scoring clipboards and backup goggles, swimsuits and caps to meets as well as a warm deck for swimmers to use when they have close together events at our meets.
We run both a swim club and swim team at our school and need supplies for both groups. Our swim club is for swimmers of all abilities to learn to swim or to prepare for lifeguard training. Our team competes in meets throughout the winter sports season against other city teams. We serve about 75-100 students through the club and team.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
