As the member of a local swim club, I am fortunate in that I have the opportunity to swim in a world-class pool, as well as other fine facilities in our city. One day, I realized that I spend a lot of my time playing in a gazillion gallons of clear, well-maintained water, while millions of people all over the world do not have access to even a sip of safe drinking water.

Reading about the subject I learned about WaterAid, a world-wide organization that has provided access to clean water, decent toilets, and good hygiene to millions for over forty years. Since then, I've contributed when I am able to help the organization achieve their goals.

 This month, I decided to participate in “Swim 13 Miles for WaterAid” from August 1 thru 31, 2025. I will swim 1800 to 2000 meters (1.11 to 1.24 mile) or more during each of my practices with my club, so should be able to easily reach the goal. I would appreciate your kind assistance, making a donation to WaterAid for each mile I complete.

I will post each day's progress on Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you ahead of time for your kind support.
