Supporting the Heart of Our Pool
Anne Scholz has dedicated herself to our community, and now we are coming together to give back to her. Join the Sea Lions for a fun-filled competition designed for everyone—from serious swimmers to those who prefer a pool noodle! This special event is a fundraiser to provide direct financial support to Anne and her family following her ALS diagnosis. Whether you’re racing in an aqua belt or cheering from the bleachers, your presence is a powerful message of love and solidarity for a woman who has given us so much.
The Sea Lions Swim Team is proud to host this special event to rally our community, celebrate Anne’s impact, and raise vital funds for her and her family during this challenging time.
