<div>We’re almost there — and you can help us complete the final piece of our new facility: the family changing area. It’s the only part not covered by our construction loan, and we can’t open our doors without it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your support today makes this possible.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe every child deserves to feel confident and safe around water — and every parent deserves peace of mind knowing their child has the skills to survive and thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In 2019, I started Swim Kids Waco (now Swim Waco) in my backyard pool with one goal: to equip families for a lifetime of fun and safety in the water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What began with a few backyard lessons has grown into a year-round swim school with 25 passionate team members and thousands of children who now have life-saving water skills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we’ve reached a point where we’re turning families away simply because there isn’t enough pool space. We’ve outgrown every rented location we’ve ever used — and now, it’s time for a permanent home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been years in the making. Many of you have heard us talk about this dream since 2021. There were moments we wondered if we’d ever get here, but we kept going — because we know how much our community needs not just qualified instructors, but a lasting resource that gives every family access to water safety.
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>️This October, we broke ground on the future home of Swim Waco at 216 Kelly Dr. - Close to Richland Mall and Home Depot. This nearly $3 million project is mostly funded — but we need your help to get across the finish line.
</div>
<div>*And keep reading because it comes with perks for you too
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re rebuilding everything: roof, HVAC, plumbing — and carving out a brand-new pool right into the slab. Everything from lighting to pool systems is covered by our construction loan.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But there is one part left unfunded. The family changing area — a space that’s clean, private, and comfortable for parents and swimmers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will help us build this final piece — with privacy stalls, benches, toddler seats, cubbies, and changing tables — so families can move from lessons to the rest of life with ease.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation — big or small — helps make this dream a reality for our family &amp; team and for the kids, parents &amp; grandparents of our community. Whether you join us as a family or through your local business, we would be honored for you to get involved in this valuable work.

<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Drowning is the third leading cause of unintentional death in children worldwide.
</div>
<div>We’ve seen firsthand how early swim education saves lives — like it did for Khloe and Connor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Khloe’s Story:
</div>
<div>At just two years old, Khloe completed our Infant Aquatics program. When she accidentally fell into a pool, she rolled over, floated, and called for help until she was rescued — exactly as she was trained.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Connor’s Story:
</div>
<div>At four, Connor saw another child silently sink at a swim party. Remembering what he learned during Safety Day, he shouted for help instead of jumping in — saving his friend’s life.
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together, we can create a space that keeps Wacoans of all walks of life safe for generations to come.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve been honored to get to know so many AMAZING families over the past six years of teaching. I’ve loved raising my kids alongside yours — watching so many of your children grow into skilled, confident swimmers who are making lasting memories in the water.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>➡️ Please consider donating today — as a family or a business — so that your family, and families across our Waco community, can continue to grow as safe, capable swimmers who truly love the water.
</div>
<div><br />
