What do you get a man who has everything? Of course, one-of-a-kind FSPA Speedo swim trunks! Yes, the Chapter presented Dr. Bill Kent with this special gift as a thank you for bringing the meaning of free swim lessons to the next level. Thank you, Dr. Bill Kent and the Bill Kent Family Foundation.  
A huge shout out to Todd Koonts, Spies Pool! He took the time to collect donations to help support the Gift of Swimming in their swim lesson scholarship program. Thank you to those that contributed: Spies Pool $3,700, FSPA Central Florida Chapter $3,500, SPESF $3,500, Insurance by Ken Brown $300, and Odyssey Manufacturing $1,000. A total of $12,000…yeah!
