The Nation's Premier 'Learn to Swim' Provider Aims to Paint the Pool Deck Pink This October
MANASSAS, Va., Sept. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- British Swim School, the nation's leading "learn to swim" franchise, hopes to paint the pool deck pink as the company announces a nationwide t-shirt sale to raise funds for breast cancer awareness. The initiative was inspired by a franchise owner well-known for her charitable endeavors.
Every year, Bonnie Alcid, who oversees multiple British Swim School territories across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC., asks her staff to select a cause to champion. This year, she and her team have chosen to focus on Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which occurs in October. "Breast cancer affects so many lives, including so many people we know and love. We wanted to do our part to make a difference," said Alcid.
After Alcid requested a special t-shirt design for the cause, the British Swim School corporate team took action. They created a shirt featuring the phrase "Swim Strong, Support Stronger." The design resonated so deeply with the team that they decided to extend the initiative nationwide.
"We were so inspired by the message that we knew we had to be part of this amazing cause," said Ashley Gundlach, President of British Swim School.

- Every two minutes, a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with the disease.
