LOS ANGELES, Jul. 11, 2015  — 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. swimming goggles, the industry leader in swimwear and swim accessories. These swim goggles are critical in helping One with the Water continue their mission of creating miracles in children’s lives by providing swim lessons for kids in Los Angeles. This generous donation has allowed One with the Water to grant additional swim lesson scholarships and allow sixty at-risk and low-income kids to learn to swim in the Los Angeles 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 kids and children get the physical and emotional therapy through swimming that so many of these children desperately need. This is a dream come true and we can’t wait to surprise our kids with their amazing swimming goggles. 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.
