Welcome to the Diversity in Aquatics social network. The network and website, MinoritySwimming.com, are the brain-child of Shaun Anderson and Jayson Jackson. The goal of our Diversity in Aquatics Program (DAP) is to help create and promote more local DAP programs, as well as to create a forum for interaction, communication, news, and competitive swimming. We hope you enjoy the network and MinoritySwimming.com. Please send us suggestions, comments, posts, and ideas at ideas@minorityswimming.com.
Check out this short video about The International Swimming Hall of Fame’s “Black Splash” exhibition. If you get a chance to make it down to Fort Lauderdale make sure you check it out and become a member. The director of the hall of fame is DAP member Mr. Bruce Wigo.
The International Swimming Hall of Fame is located in Fort Lauderdale, FL. According to their website their mission is to promote the benefits and importance of swimming as a key to fitness, good health, quality of life, and the water safety of children. We will accomplish this through operation of the International Swimming Hall of Fame, a dynamic shrine dedicated to the history, memory, and recognition of the famous swimmers, divers, water polo players, synchronized swimmers, and persons involved in life saving activities and education, throughout the world, whose lives and accomplishments will serve to inspire, educate, and be role models for all those who participate in the Hall of Fame’s experience and programs.
Take some time to visit their website. Here are few links that caught my eye:
