The Arch Academy Zombies relay swim team of San Diego, California has defied the odds of what limitations, stereotypes, and misconceptions hinder the success of student-athletes with particular challenges. Having achieved three channel swims, a Santa Barbara Channel Swimming Association record-first relay crossing, and a Guinness Book world record, the Zombies are training hard to continue earning success in and out of the classroom.
The team is dramatically raising the bar of what success is possible for disabled individuals, and using those obstacles as strengths. The relay team members are a group of motivated and determined students-athletes who are generally viewed as individuals with limited potential due to struggles with autism, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, learning disabilities, behavioral problems, ADHD, substance abuse, and other issues.
Lead by Arch Academy founder, Cheryl (Zak) Allcock, the Zombies have been plowing through the social barriers associated with these challenges by becoming champions in the sport of open water swimming and prodigious students in the classroom. Through swimming, these students have been able to excel in the classroom and in the water.
