After a few weeks of swim lessons with Swim Tayka, students are brought to the beach to put their skills to use and become more comfortable in bigger water. This swimmer has actually been in the program for five years and hopes to become a competitive swimmer. She can swim all styles but freestyle is her favorite. She loves how swimming makes her feel healthy, happy, and relaxed.

Every morning in Huanchaco before the sun rises - when the waves aren't too rough - members of its Association of Artisanal Fishermen gather to head out as a group. Their ancestors have been doing this for thousands of years. But this may be the last generation that does so. Their children just aren't interested in fishing anymore, as it does not provide the kind of living demanded by modern times. These fishermen don't earn a living from it either, but do so because they enjoy it and it's their heritage. Some offer rides to tourists on their caballitos. But their children and grandchildren are all busy with other jobs and have pursued other options elsewhere. Fishing here has also become more difficult due to offshore commercial fishing and changing ocean currents.
