 Swim 1922 - Swim Safety Event
https://bit.ly/Swim1922
Contact  West Gwinnett Park Aquatic Center
678.407.8801
FacilityWest Gwinnett Park Aquatic Center


Have a splash at this safety boosting event! No swim experience necessary. Swim 1922 was created to address the unfortunate truth that according to the CDC, approximately 10 people drown every day in the U.S.A. An even more startling fact is that 70 percent of African American children and 60 percent of Hispanic children in the U.S. do not know how to swim. Additionally, African American children are three times more likely to drown than Caucasian children. Through the partnership with USA Swimming, Sigma Gamma Rho’s Swim 1922 campaign aims to address this disparity by having. Olympians and members of the sorority teach the community about water safety and how to swim. With USA Swimming, Sigma Gamma Rho has touched close to 20,000 lives, directly, with the projection of changing multiple generations to come. 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.
Reduces the level of fear and apprehension of learning to swim. Opens minds and changes attitudes regarding Blacks and swimming.
