OMSC is proud to share that Aerin Bowers, an OMSC alum, will be attempting to swim the English Channel starting Sunday evening (PST)—a goal she has been training toward for the past five years.

Aerin is using this challenge to raise funds for JumpStart, an organization that helps remove financial barriers so that all kids can access organized sports.

This incredible journey is being supported by several OMSC members, and we’re excited to cheer Aerin on as she takes on one of the world’s most iconic open-water challenges.

To learn more about Aerin, follow her story, and find out how you can support her along the way, visit:
