“I was eight years old when I took my first swim lessons at Girl Scout Camp. Imagine my surprise when I realized pools did not have grass or little fish. It has become a life long, sustaining exercise and has introduced me to treasured friends.” – Sandy, BBAF Supporter

“After my daughter was born at the age of 42 my husband said I needed to know how to swim to keep my two kids safe. I took adult beginners lessons at the Y for three summers straight. It was very humbling! I’ve made swimming a part of my regular exercise and I joined a water polo team where I’ve made lots of great friends and got my daughter into the sport as well (she’s great, me not so much). Learning how to swim as an adult was hard, humbling but so worth it! My day is happier when I swim!” – Sue, BBAF Supporter
