Spider women’s swim team helps out Highland Park

The Collegian has an article up about yet another initiative by the University of Richmond in Highland Park:

On Oct. 15, the team hosted about 25 children from the Youth Life Foundation of Richmond (YLFR) for a swim clinic teaching the children, ranging from kindergarten to elementary school-age, basic swim lessons.

Each child is paired with the same student athlete each time so trust and friendship are built. By the end of the clinic, some of the children from YLFR were proudly showing off their diving skills to their Richmond coach, who waded in the water to catch them.
