Dear friends and family, 

It's that time again! For nearly three decades, the swimmers of the YWCA Flying Fish have embraced the challenge of swimming nonstop for an hour. It's not just a test of physical endurance; it's also a journey of personal growth and maturity. On January 28, Peter swam his third marathon. Last year, Peter swam 73 lengths of the pool.  This year is he swam 85!

Join us on our aquatic adventure as we not only push our swimming limits but also make a splash for a great cause. It’s not just swimming; it’s swimming with purpose!

By being part of the marathon, you're not just making waves in the pool; you're making a difference in our community. We're not just seeking your support; we're inviting you to be a part of something extraordinary.

Where does the money go? Funds raised from the marathon support all aspects of YWCA Evanston/North Shore’s work. This includes:

-Providing healthy aquatic programming for all;

-Offering scholarships/financial aid to those who otherwise would not be able to afford swim lessons or swim team;

-Supporting families who access the YWCA’s domestic violence services, economic advancement and other social justice programs;

-Bringing violence prevention and racial equity programs to schools and other local organizations.

By helping to enhance our swim program and support families in need, money raised is reinvested in our children, families and community.

Here is how you can participate-

Thank you!

Jessica, Ryan, and Peter
