what we do

 Whether our athletes are learning to swim, riding a bike or training for a run, our programs aim to open doors to empowering experiences and positive role models. Our focus is as much on mental well-being as it is on physical well-being.

Zoe M, Luis's Mom

Luis was afraid of falling, he was afraid people were going to make fun of him.

 

I told him, ‘Everyone starts from somewhere. Everyone falls. It’s all about picking yourself up.

He needed somebody else to tell him to get back up. He needed a team.

It’s a beautiful thing.

 

This is huge for our entire family. Brandon has a younger sister who wants to join now. My husband and I said, ‘We should get out and try that ourselves.’
