Winning in STYLE 💪

Anastasia Pagonis (@anastasia_k_p) SMASHES her previous world record by nearly two seconds to take home @teamusa's first 🥇 of the Paralympic Games!

She also has the coolest goggles of all time. Just saying.

"What does blind look like?"

When Anastasia Tas Pagonis was 14, she completely lost her vision.
Now 17, the @TeamUSA para-swimmer has become a role model and is ready to show her stuff at the Tokyo 2020 @Paralympics!

Hey gang, what's with the hurricane?! Clinics and classes are on for today as usual, but beaches are closed on Sunday. Stay tuned for updates on whether or not Sunday clinics will be rescheduled or canceled; in the meantime, enjoy the ominous skies! #ocean
