A young African American woman reccently swam to safety in the Chesapeake Bay after her car went over the Bay Bridge. It would be awesome to have her as guest speaker for the 2nd annual convention.

I am so glad she was able to save herself... makes me feel great about learning to swim at 49 its a life skill and a safety tool!
Wow that is an amazing story of determination and staying focused while in a horrible life or death situation. If not for her ability to swim, she may not have been so fortunate. Great idea to have her speak at the next convention.
