LADYBUG PROJECT #SwimSafe
SUPPORT OPEN WATER SWIMMING & our LADYBUG PROJECT @
https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=FUJTNLANMHZEY
After completing his 100th triathlon, Coach Chris purchased and donated over 100 “Ladybug” #SwimSafe swim buoys to encourage open water swim safety. He continues to give away one buoy for every triathlon he’s completed, simply to make open water swimming less intimidation for beginners!
If you’d like a buoy, simply show up to a swim meetup or workout and he’ll probably have one for you!
