Galen, driven by her unwavering belief in equal opportunities, establishes the non-profit organization, Mid-Hudson Heatwave, with a mission to empower young and diverse individuals by providing them with access to swimming pools. As Galen works tirelessly to break the industry's blind spot for people of color, she encounters various challenges. From the scarcity of swimming resources tailored to their needs, such as nose clips and swim caps, to the underlying prejudices ingrained in the sport, Galen's determination to shatter these barriers inspires her students to push beyond their limitations and strive for greatness. We also delve into the deep emotional bond Galen forms with the young individuals under her mentorship. The kids she teaches become more than just her students; they become her family. Galen's unconditional love and support transform their lives, granting them the strength and resilience to overcome adversity both in and out of the pool. See less
