LOS ANGELES, Ca. Jul. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/- It was like Christmas in July for founder Kenneth Rippetoe when a large present showed up on One with the Water’s doorstep. It included an abundance of FINIS, Inc., goggles, the industry leader in swimwear and swim accessories. These supplies are critical in helping One with the Water continue their mission of creating miracles in children’s lives by teaching the fundamental life skill of swimming to everyone regardless of age or ability. This generous donation has allowed One with the Water to grant additional swim scholarships and change the lives of sixty at-risk youth in the Southern California region.

When asked what the donation from FINIS, Inc. meant to him, Mr. Rippetoe replied, “It brought joyful tears to my eyes because I knew that it meant that we could help more people get the physical and emotional therapy through swimming that so many of them desperately need. This is a dream come true and we can’t wait to surprise our kids with their amazing products. It really is like the holidays coming early for us.” One with the Water is excited about ongoing developments with FINIS, Inc. and the ability to help use donations to transform the lives of those in need.
