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.
