Goldfish Swim School in Gaithersburg Will Award Three-Month Swim Lesson Packages to Local Children in Honor of Autism Acceptance Month

By MCS Staff

Published April 8, 2023 at 10:52AM

In honor of Autism Acceptance Month, Goldfish Swim School is raising awareness about the increased risk of drowning for children on the autism spectrum and the heightened need for water safety education among kids in this group and their families. Goldfish Swim Schools in Winter Park, Florida, where the foundation is based, and Gaithersburg, Maryland (801 Center Point Way), will award three-month swim lesson packages to 10 local children through the Alijah’s Swimmers Scholarships program. The program was launched in 2021 and has provided swim lessons for dozens of children.

Local residents in Gaithersburg and Winter Park can submit themselves or nominate a child from April 1 through April 30 by visiting https://bit.ly/AlijahsSwimmers. According to a Goldfish Swim School press release, children with autism are 160 times more likely to die from drowning than the general pediatric population, according to a study by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, due to their increased tendency to explore and wander away from parents, teachers or caregivers and the affinity for water that many autistic kids share. Children on the spectrum can be highly focused, and if they slip away from a known adult, their curiosity can be life-threatening near any water source.

The MoCo natives behind Passion for Ezra posted the following on social media when it was announced the shoes they created for Donna Kelce, whose sons Jason and Travis played against each other in the Super Bowl earlier this year, would be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, “It’s official we made it to the Pro Football Hall of Fame… we’ve waited for this to be announced officially! We will be getting our tickets to Canton today ❤️”

Proud momma Donna Kelce was interviewed by GQ magazine prior to the Super Bowl. During the interview, she was wearing a half Chiefs half Eagles jacket that was created by a business that is owned and operated by MoCo natives. “This is a jacket that Passion For Ezra put together. The Eagles on one sleeve and the Chiefs on the other. And then on the back—I don’t know if you can see—the names and then the two logos for the Chiefs and the Eagles. So this is really fun, this jean jacket. I really love it.” In addition to the jacket created for Mrs. Kelce, Passion For Ezra made a custom pair of shoes- Philadelphia Eagles on the left foot and Kansas City Chiefs on the right. The shoes have made it to the Hall of Fame, along with a custom split jersey Kelce wore while cheering on her sons.
