This month on Goldfish Swim School‘s Water Safety Patrol, listen to a conversation with SKJAJA board member Aaron Keck, a familiar voice on 97.9 The Hill, as he discusses SKJAJA’s role getting kids in the water and learning through scholarship programs and community involvement.

“People who have that thing in their lives that they can do, that they can look forward to, that they really care about and get into,” said Keck. “If you have that, then you just become better at everything else in your life. You become more attentive in school. You care more. You try harder, you work harder, you succeed more. … So often with our Goldfish kids, they go and they have these incredible swim lessons and they learn this skill, and then they have that. And then in addition to that, they’re better in school. They’re happier. … Every aspect of their lives seems to be improved because of what Danelle and Goldfish do. … There are so many terrific resources and organizations and people who care about making their community a better place, and Goldfish Swim School is one of the very best.”

Goldfish Swim School focuses on staying safe in the water with flexible, fun lessons, emphasizing confidence-building and water safety in Goldfish Swim School’s shiver-free pool, located in the heart of Chapel Hill. For more information about Goldfish’s programs, click here.
