Swim Freedom Annual Report 2025
2025 Overview
In our first 18 months, Swim Freedom has done very well. We realize that adults really want to know how to swim! They talk about going to beaches and cannot get in the water.! They talk about their anxiety. This is a real need in our community. Our goal for swimmers for 2025 is 150 and by the end of January we are at 46. We currently have a 90+ wait list for adults and 40+ wait lists for children. See your Grants in Process below! We are in need of donors and volunteers.
