(Wheaton, IL) November 20, 2015 –Daily Herald Business Ledger recognized British Swim School executive director Angelica Monroy as one of eighteen executives with the Influential Women in Business award. These awards are presented to women executives who excel in business, civic and personal areas, as well as being role models for the future generation.

“I’m very grateful and honored to be recognized with this award,” says Monroy, a Westchester resident. “Sometimes we don’t realize the influence we have or know who we might be inspiring at any moment. My passion for the school is one way I can be of service to my community.”

This is the first recognition award for Monroy, but with her passion for living her dreams, it surely won’t be her last. She combines her work at British Swim School with her desire to help other people in any way she can. Currently the business rents other pools to hold their classes. Along with her business partner, Monroy plans on opening their own pool facilities next year, allowing them to offer even more classes.

British Swim School has several locations throughout the Chicagoland area including Elmhurst, Oak Brook and Downers Grove and teaches students from three months through 90 years old basic water survival skills to advanced swim techniques.
