The Origin of our Women-Only Program
It all started with one woman’s dream of finding a private space where Muslim women could learn to swim.
We had no idea what a life changing experience this would be for swimmers and coaches alike, as fears were faced and water became a place of safety, peace and healing.
Khadra’s dream of finding a program able to provide a private space where Muslim women could learn to swim becomes a reality with Coaches Karin and Michelle.
Meet Ayan. After a traumatic water experience as a young child fleeing Somalia, Ayan faces the water once again, and overcomes her fears, finding comfort and healing where she least expected.
The women venture into the deep end of the pool. Meanwhile, what started as a small group has grown into a large mission dedicated to teaching over 100 women to swim in a private, secure environment.
“I had never touched the water before, and now swimming is my happiest place, thanks to Coaches Michelle and Karin, who transformed fear into freedom.”
