Friends of Swim with Gina is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing scholarships for children to learn swim, educate on water safety and decrease the number of drownings in East Texas.  We believe all children should have the opportunity to learn lifesaving swimming skills regardless of their ability to pay.  This scholarship fund is made possible through private donations from businesses and individuals all around East Texas.
