Otherwise, we are taking away the opportunity for many Brownsville kids who want to become more proficient swimmers to do so, while making the Summer Academy program no more than a splash and play program of questionable long term value. Coach Ortega, Coach Sanchez, Coach Wild and the many other BISD swim coaches who have been involved in this Academy over the years have much expertise to offer our children and I would hate to see them relegated to the position of no more than babysitters. Brownsville can t afford to lose a strong program like the Summer Academy Swimming Program. We do not have another program like this in Brownsville that is free of cost to parents. Do it for all our children s sake.
Brownsville children do deserve the best.
