Milestone

Women's Swimming Class Graduation

On March 7, as part of our International Women's Day celebration, 24 amazing women graduated from our very first women-only swimming class — and proudly received their certificates!

They learned a life-saving skill, built real confidence, and supported each other every step of the way. Swimming isn't just exercise — it boosts mental health, brings relaxation, and promotes a fun, active lifestyle.

We're incredibly proud of these courageous, dedicated women and wish them continued health, confidence, and success — in the water and beyond!

This program is core to our mission at Hazara Oregon and Cultural Community: empowering women and strengthening our community, together.
