🏊‍♀️ This is the 52nd year that the Community Swim Association has participated in raising funds for the American Cancer Society.
🏊🏻‍♂️At the Swim For Cancer, participants and volunteers come together to honor cancer survivors, spread the word about reducing cancer risk, and raise money to help the American Cancer Society save lives.
🏊‍♀️Last week our Riptide swimmers swam laps to raise money for our team to donate. Afterwards they wrote who they were swimming for.
🏊Friends and family can still donate. All riptide swimmers are collecting donations or you can pledge online here:
