The Jefferson Swim League (JSL) and the Ben Hair Just Swim for Life Foundation (BH-JSL) announce their partnership to enhance the enjoyment of swimming in our community!
Visit the new website: BH-JSL
The mission of the Ben Hair Just Swim for Life Foundation (BH-JSL) is to train children to swim with the goal of improving water safety. BH-JSL will fund certified Water Safety Instructors to conduct learn-to-swim programs to improve water safety in the Charlottesville/Albemarle area.
Currently, the BH-JSL is funding our first "Make a Splash" Partner, the City of Charlottesville's Park and Recreation. The BH-JSL Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity with headquarters in Charlottesville, VA.
A recent study has found that 40% of white children, nearly 70% of African-American children, and 58% of Hispanic/Latino children cannot swim and feel uncomfortable around water. The JSL and the BH-JSL share the mission of providing a healthy, challenging, and rewarding growth experiences through swimming for children and adults. The Jefferson Swim League does this by assuring its participants have fun, learn the fundamentals of swimming, learn teamwork, sportsmanship, and put forth their best effort in the sport of swimming. The Ben Hair Just Swim for Life program provides the additional dimension of training the community in water safety. By partnering together, the two organizations exhibit the important qualities of teamwork, participation in life of the community, and accepting the important challenge and opportunity of assuring that our friends and neighbors are safe around the water.
