📣 Shout out to Akeisha! After making tremendous strides in learning to swim at the City of Norfolk’s Southside Aquatics Center, her fellow community members encouraged her to take on her second-ever triathlon: the RVA Sprint Triathlon in Rockville, VA. In doing so, she inspired City lifeguard Giovanni “Jojo” Johnson and her friend, Paris Hamilton, to join her!

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Congratulations to Akeisha and Jojo for proudly representing Norfolk, and thank you to the Southside Swim Posse for showing up and showing out! 🥇
