First Quarter GIVE
Wow – the first quarter has come and gone. This year I am donating 5% of each commission to a different non-profit.
I have just done my first quarter give to Emerald Aquatics – www.emeraldaquatics.org. Check out their website if you want to give to them as well! Donations help keep the monthly fees down, youth scholarships, and equipment. They provide swimming for kids and adults and do so while fostering an environment of excellence and personal growth.
This year a new EA award was added. It’s called the “Dhom Character Award” and goes to the swimmer that exemplifies leadership and our weekly themes at swim team and in their daily life. Some weekly themes examples include Sportsmanship, Teamwork, Winning and Learning, and Integrity. This year the first award went to Gracie!! I am so proud of the young woman she is becoming!
So excited to have exceeded my GIVE goal for the 1st quarter! So excited to be able to contribute to the sport of swimming in this way! Gratitude and a big thank you to everyone who has walked part of this first quarter with me. You have helped make a difference in these kids’ lives!

Emerald Aquatics Lap-a-thon
Sunday, February 21 was our annual Emerald Aquatics lap-a-thon. Last year I decided to swim and raise money for the team I coach. I did it again this year. Money raised goes to keep dues reasonable but, more importantly to me, it funds our scholarship program. We've never had to turn a kid away that couldn't afford to pay.
Swimming definitely brings out the best in me – the joyful and playful side. 🙂
I ended up beating my goal of 100 laps and swam 120 laps (3000 meters) in 1 hour. I had two per lap sponsors which I'm sure motivated me to swim more than I would have otherwise! All of my other sponsors were a flat rate. Thank YOU to each and every one of my sponsors! Here's Lottie – one of my high schoolers – who volunteered to be my counter. Thank you, Lottie!
It's not too late!! You can still donate to this wonderful organization at: www.emeraldaquatics.org. Your donation is tax deductible since EA is a 501c3. Click on donate, and you can even pick me as who you sponsor. My personal goal is to raise $2000. Currently I have raised $1300. We can still get donors through March 31, 2016.
Thank you for your sponsorship! We are Grateful!
