I've created this page because I want to make a difference for youth around water.  I was rescued from a pool at age 10.  My parents witness the situation but neither could swim.   In 1993, I joined the YMCA and made sure my children learned to swim (we all learned together).  Each summer, the Louisville YMCA provides complimentary swim lessons and a "safety around water program" for at-risk youth in our community.   Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
