Our goal is to strengthen USA Swimming’s commitment to diversity and inclusion by breaking down barriers, created by a lack of access and exposure, and expanding our footprint in the local community to increase swim participation and decrease drowning rates.Program Benefits: Provides opportunities for youth and adults within the African-American community to learn water safety in general and swimming specifically.
