Helping Hands Swim with the Dolphins
Helping Hands is a non-profit organization in Sullivan. They are always looking for fun activities for children with disabilities to have time to interact with their non-disabled peers outside of the school day. In a Blue Dolphin’s board meeting, J.D. Graham, Vice President of the Sullivan Blue Dolphins, brought up the idea of having children with Helping Hands swim with the Blue Dolphin swimmers.
On November 14th after swim practice, the Blue Dolphins had several older swimmers step up and offer to stay to swim with children from Helping Hands. This was a great opportunity for the Dolphins Swim Team to interact with their peers and to show other children some swimming techniques. This is one of many examples of how Helping Hands and the Blue Dolphins are organizations that commit to our community. All of the children had a great time meeting each other and swimming together.
