Gila Valley Swim Lessons

There were 110 floors and 2071 steps in the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. The 2025 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is a way to honor and remember the FDNY firefighters and other first responders who selflessly gave their lives so that others might live on 9-11-2001.

Participants will be divided into groups. Each group pays tribute to an FDNY firefighter by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center. Your individual tribute not only remembers the sacrifice of an FDNY brother, but symbolically completes their heroic journey to save others.

We will be at EAC's football stadium from 5:00-9:30 p.m on Thursdsay, September 11th. A new wave starts every 45 minutes.

We will never forget.

Gila Valley Swim Lessons are OPEN for registration!
This summer, I’m offering smaller class sizes (max of 5 students) to ensure more individual attention and better progress in the water.
I’ve been teaching swim lessons for over 20 years, swam competitively, and hold a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education and a Master’s in Educational Leadership. But more than anything—I’m incredibly passionate about water safety.
Making sure every child (and adult!) knows how to be safe around water isn’t just a job for me—it’s a mission. I truly believe that swimming is a life skill, not just a summer activity, and I’m committed to helping every swimmer feel confident, capable, and safe.
All ages welcome—from beginners to those looking to fine-tune their strokes.

We've decided to make some to sell at a boutique, but wanted to offer here too, so that they are ready when you are ready to decorate! Can be left plain, stained, or painted.
