Each summer, the Vienna community's Northern Virginia Swimming League Division 12 swim team at Shouse Village organizes an event where its swimmers swim laps for a charity. This year, the swim team played a crucial role in the success of  Reston-based nonprofit organization Kids R First. It "provides the necessary school supplies for underserved children [in Fairfax and Loudoun counties]... custom orders for every grade level at every participating school."

The initial estimate for funds raised at the swim event is over $10,000, a testament to the community's generosity and the swimmer team's event. The top swimmer, 13-year-old Emha Franklin, swam 432 laps, equaling 10,800 meters, during the four-hour event showcasing the spirit of the local community.
