Swim4Good was founded by Mauricio Prieto, Susan Moody and Emily Kunze in 2012 as a platform for swimmers to take on a unique swim challenge and raise money and consciousness for social entrepreneurship initiatives. As part of Swim4Good, Prieto, Moody, and Kunze crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and raised $106.000 for Worldreader, a non-profit organization that brings books to kids in the developing world using mobile technology.
