We are proud to share that the Bobcat First Program sponsors a swimming program. B1st2Swim! is a water-based program designed to support first generation students and other students from communities who have been historically excluded from safe swim environments. Students are provided with the opportunity to engage with the water and to increase their comfort and ability to swim at a pace unique to each person.
Through our committed partnership with Bates Aquatics, each student is matched with a swim guide for 1:1 support and cohorts are designed with student swimmer comfort and safety as priority. Swim cohorts also foster a strong sense of community and ongoing connection in and outside the pool!
