Shawn's Life in Numbers | Birthday Tribute

Twenty years ago, one woman decided that knowing how to be safe in the water shouldn't depend on your zip code or your bank account. That decision became Swim Strong Foundation. This month, we're celebrating two milestones at once: a significant personal milestone for our founder, Shawn Slevin — and the 20th anniversary of the organization she built from the ground up. In this video, we look back at her journey: how Swim Strong started, the people who helped grow it, and the thousands of lives it's touched along the way. 135,000+ students reached. 12,600+ people taught to swim. 535+ certified lifeguards trained. $2M+ in free and low-cost lessons delivered. Every one of those numbers traces back to a single decision Shawn made two decades ago. If you'd like to honor her milestone year, a gift to Swim Strong Foundation helps write the next chapter. 🌊 Donate: swimstrongfoundation.org/donate 📧 Learn more: swimstrongfoundation.org 🕐 CHAPTERS Coming Soon #SwimStrong20 #WaterSafety #KnowBeforeYouGo #SwimStrongFoundation #NYCSwim Swim Strong offers swim programs for children, teens, and adults who want to learn to swim, refine their stroke, or compete.
