We haven't met, but we share the same goal in providing the best educational experience for Baltimore's children. So I thought I'd take a chance and tell you about

our alternative physical education, after-school fitness and fundraising programs. If you haven't guessed, our focus is on Fun and Fitness to

reduce Childhood Obesity and to restore the importance of Physical Education.

Once a week, students like yours (grades K to 8), spend one hour learning to swim at one of our indoor heated pool facilities as part of their physical

education experience. We offer 6 to 14-week Fall and Spring Semester School-Day & After-School programs, and 4-week weekend Fundraisers. Give us one chance and watch how quickly our swim programs become a favorite activity among students, with support from parents and faculty.

Yours hopefully, Curtis R. Cook, Program Director
