Anna is a two-time Team USA swimmer and a recent Olympian from the World Championships. This is an incredible opportunity to meet a world-class athlete right here in our community!
Anna will be bringing some exclusive items from the World Championships—like shirts and swim bags from top brands like Speedo and TYR—to be raffled off.
You'll have the chance to meet Anna, get her autograph, and take a picture. Afterward, she'll show off her skills in the pool! Kids and adults can swim with her and even try to race her. Maybe we can get a relay together to take on an Olympian! 🏊♀️
