Dan Taylor Team Aquatic Supplies Regional Student Athlete Scholarship

The Dan Taylor Team Aquatic Supplies Regional Student Athlete Scholarship commemorates Dan Taylor in recognition of his 40 year commitment to the sport of swimming in Ontario. Dan firmly believed that “it takes a region” to raise a child and poured his heart and soul into supporting the North East Region swimming community as a volunteer coach, official, club administrator, Regional Chair and Swim Ontario Board member. Recipients of this scholarship reflect Dan Taylor’s strong belief that the sport of swimming builds good habits, confidence and discipline, makes youth into community leaders and teaches them how to strive for a goal, handle mistakes, and cherish growth opportunities both in the pool and in life.
