NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The Nashville group that works to introduce kids to swimming and other outdoor activities is hosting its annual Swimathon event Saturday morning.
The Tennessee Aquatic Project group aims to give Nashville area children experiences they've never been exposed to, like some who have never set foot in a pool.
They are raising money so they can reach more kids.
They empower those from 8 to 18 in things like swimming, SCUBA diving, wilderness survival, environmental leadership, and international travel.
Saturday, they will host a high-energy morning of swimming, cheering, and giving back.
Thirty young swimmers will hit the water to raise funds for TAP. You can sponsor a swimmer or just donate.
It will be at the J.C. Napier Recreation Center Pool from 9 until 11 a.m.

My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
