‼️ We had a full house last night at the Center for Health & Wellbeing as five-time Olympian and world record holder Alia Atkinson inspired swimmers and families with a powerful and heartfelt presentation.
✅ Alia shared practical advice on staying motivated, answered thoughtful questions from the audience, and generously stayed afterward to meet every young swimmer, pose for photos, and offer words of encouragement.
💧This special event was part of our Drowning Prevention Week, and we’re honored to have Alia as a partner in promoting water safety and drowning prevention. Her passion for helping families stay safe in and around the water is making a real difference.
🩵💙 Thank you, Alia, for reminding us that champions aren’t just made in the pool—they’re built through perseverance, kindness, and a commitment to lifting up the next generation.
