Kendall Pickering Ripple Effect 

Kendall Pickering was an astonishing individual with piercing blue eyes that appropriately resembled the place she spent so much of her time; the pool. Kendall, a passionate and involved member of the swimming community embodied qualities that allowed her to excel athletically, academically and socially. With goals of competing in the Olympics, Kendall's drive to be her best created a ripple effect of positive energy, an unparalleled work ethic, passion, and commitment to the things and the people she loved the most. Kendall carried herself with grace and was always supporting those around her. Her interest, though deeply rooted in swimming, expanded into the Special and Paralympic Community. 

On December 15th 2020 Kendall's life was taken when she was involved in a fatal car accident. Kendall's absence tore a hole in the swimming community. However, it has inspired those whose lives she touched to live on in her glory and find ways to honor her legacy, through her passions. With the Kendall Pickering Ripple Effect Scholarship fund, we are eager to do just that and by re-creating a Ripple Effect of students who will learn to swim, and how to be safe in and around the water, because of Kendall. 

The Kendall Pickering Ripple Effect Scholarship will allow Superior Training to provide swimming lessons to those in need and those who embody the quality of life that Kendall so proudly lived. To apply, or to nominate a family or individual, please see below.​
