Swim Team Builds Bonds Beyond the Pool
The district’s swim team is more than just a group of athletes; it’s a close-knit family, with Bul Chol at its heart.
Bul, a well-loved student with special needs at Oak Park, is supported by his teammates who go above and beyond to include him in everything, both in and out of the pool. The swimmers from all four schools not only work together during practice but also make time to check in on Bul outside of practice.
Each day, a designated time is set for teammates to call Bul, a gesture that he looks forward to. This daily connection deepens their bond, creating lasting friendships and a powerful network of support that goes far beyond the pool.
