Shands for Kids Stories

University of Florida Gator Swim and Dive team took time out of the water to volunteer at Shands Children’s Hospitals this past summer and fall. The team adopted both facilities as their community project. They were committed to sharing their time to entertain and to simply help a child feel better for what can be a difficult experience in their life. Every Tuesday evening from 5:30 - 6:30 swim and dive volunteers would take time away from the pool and books to play board games, to color pictures, to create jewelry, to read, or to just talk with a patient. Other fun activities included B-I-N-G-O with the Gators and karaoke.

Thank you Gator Swim and Dive volunteers for being a true champion for Shands Kids!
