Brave Waves dives into new indoor facility on Rest Acres Road

Brave Waves Swim School announced this past week that they have officially opened the doors to their new indoor facility on Rest Acres Road. Construction on the new state of the art school began just under a year ago. See next week’s edition of the Paris Independent as we talk to the folks behind Brave Waves and unpack all the excitement this new facility brings to the community. For more information on Brave Waves or to register for a swim class, visit them online.

Together, we can make a difference. Whether it is spending $10 on a loot bag, donating blood or taking some food to the local pantry – we have it in us to make a difference that our world desperately needs.

My challenge to my family, to my neighbors, to my community – find a way to give back that sits right with your soul and make it happen. Giving back can look different for everyone and sometimes its out there for everyone to see by the nature of an event, or it’s done in the quiet and solace of your own home.

More and more we are seeing the needs in our communities and while we may feel we don’t have anything to give, you’d be surprised when you sit and think about it. Giving back isn’t just about giving money. Giving of your time is just as impactful. Do not underestimate the value of your skills and abilities that can support a charity in need. If you put your hand up to say you can help, I am confident someone will ‘come on over – we need someone just like you!!”
