Swim-a-Thon Prizes - Donations Welcome!
A few of our families have been knocking on doors to collect prizes for Swim-a-Thon. A big thank you to you!
The largest so far is from Megan Jendrick. Megan is a Pacific Northwest native and an Olympic gold and silver medalist from the 2000 and 2008 games. Now she writes books and holds swim camps and clinics that motivate and educate young swimmers. This year she has donated "You and a Friend" passes to her July 12 swim clinic in Fife.
