Simsbury Teacher Swimming for Charity

Brooke Haynes will be participating in Swim Across America's Nantasket Beach Swim in Boston.

Haynes, a history teacher and swimming coach at The Ethel Walker School, will be swimming a mile to support cancer research.

She has been participating in Swim Across America since 2007, and her favorite memory was two years ago, finishing the swim at the same time as her father, a cancer survivor.
