Bathing Suit Drive Information

Click here for the 2024 Bathing Suit & Goggle Drive

Here are some photos that really tell the story of the results of the 2023 NJRPA/NJSSA/Dolfin Bathing Suit Drive.

These are photos taken by the Kroc Center in Camden, NJ at their Bathing Suit and Goggle Distribution Event. They did a fabulous job in providing bathing suits to those in their service area who needed them to take advantage of their swim lessons, camps and supervised swim times. The Salvation Army does a great job there and at their camps throughout NJ.

Here’s just a few photos that make the annual bathing suit drive so rewarding.

Bathing suits lead to swim lessons………….swim lessons save lives.
