WHY SWIM GIRL INC.?

SWIM GIRL INCORPORATED

Swim Girl, Inc. was founded in February of 2004.  It was the dream of its founder, Tiffany M. Bucciarelli-Fay to provide high quality swim instruction to Tucson families with children under the age of 12.  One of the many goals of the company was to reach as many children as possible without creating additional time constraints, while providing the service for all income level families.

Since its beginning Swim Girl, Inc. has provided aquatic services to more than 300 families at three area Preschools.  Swim Girl, Inc. started at Pusch Preschool and Kindergarten providing aquatic services to 10 students.  Seven of the initial children are still enrolled in the program.  At present day, we have grown to an enrollment of over 100 students at this location alone. In addition to Pusch Ridge Preschool and Kindergarten, We will be providing aquatic services to four other childcare facilities in Tucson.  Several other childcare facilities have requested information in respect to the services we provide. 

In a continuing effort to address and improve on the initial foundation of the company, Swim Girl, Inc. has partnered with Island of Escape, Baja Spas, and Premier Pools offering free swim lessons to all customers that purchase pool and spa products.  In conjunction with Island of Escape, Swim Girl, Inc. has designed a pool that allows for the instruction of swim lessons and staff training.  This entity allows Swim Girl, Inc. to provide an alternative means for families to obtain swim lessons, but do not have a pool accessible to them either in their neighborhood or at their residence.  

A community classroom, at Island of Escape, has also been created in partnership with the Southern Arizona Red Cross to provide infant, child and adult CPR classes as well as First Aid and babysitters training to the Tucson community.  Swim Girl, Inc. has volunteered their time to instruct these noted classes. 

Swim Girl, Inc. has been and is still currently actively involved in community fund raising programs through the preschools we currently serve and Southern Arizona Red Cross.  In 2004, we spearheaded the silent auction for the Pusch Ridge Preschool and Kindergarten Harvest Festival, which raised over $15,000.00 for Make-A-Wish Foundation Tucson Chapter allowing them to grant 2 children’s wishes. 

Based on current enrollment (April of 2005) Swim Girl, Inc. is projection that they will provide services to more than 600 families.
