More Bluefish Graduate :)

In August we celebrated the kids from all across Manhattan that graduated from our 2019 Summer Bluefish! We spent all summer hanging out at the pools and watching our biggest turnout yet (111 kids!) learn the ways of the water and gain confidence in the pool.

We saw their first dips…

…steered clear of the splash zone…

…dreamt of the future…

…got jealous during the heatwave…

…and cheered on all of these amazing kids!
