Hi, I’m Martin Asebedo and I’ve officially joined the Swim 15 Miles Challenge with the American Red Cross!

This isn’t just about swimming laps.  It’s about making a difference.

​

On May 25, 2025, I committed to swimming 15 miles to raise awareness and support for a cause close to my heart: helping more people learn how to swim.  Every dollar raised goes toward swim lessons that prevent drownings and build confidence in the water, especially for kids and families who might not have access otherwise.

​

💬 Why I Joined

I swim every day for my friends and family who can't.  Some never got the chance to learn, and others face barriers that keep them out of the water.  This challenge gives me the chance to swim for them, and for everyone who deserves to feel safe and strong in the water.

And yes, I do appreciate the American Red Cross towel I’ll receive at the finish line, it’s a symbol of every stroke, every effort, and every person this challenge supports.
