Swimmers for Life Donates to the North Suburban YMCA to Keep Kids Safe Around Water
Nov 18, 2020 9:46 AM - Swimmers for Life, a non-profit created by former members of the Deerfield High School swim team, has raised $3,500 in support of the North Suburban YMCA's swim programs helping make them accessible for local children those who could otherwise not afford them. The donation continues a partnership between the Y and the group's founders who launched Swimmers for Life while still in high school to promote water safety for children. Founders Lauren Kurzydlo and Grace Frankel were inspired to create Swimmers for Life six years ago in 2014, when they were teammates at Deerfield High School. They shared a lifelong love of swimming and felt strongly that all children should have the opportunity to enjoy the water safely. Stunned by statistics that show accidental drowning to be the second leading cause of death among children, the swimmers decided to work with the YMCA to support swim lesson scholarships and helped develop the ambitious "2 Seconds 2 Long" program which teaches young children about drowning prevention. -
