About Us

Mission Statement

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, and news. Posting competitive times, job descriptions for inner city lifeguarding programs, fee swim lessons, Josh Project locations, and a directory of contacts are all things we want to provide for the athletes and coaches looking these resources. We want to educate the community while paying close attention to health and safety by illustrating the benefits of recreational swimming for fitness as it relates to heart disease in minority communities. We will highlight and follow minority swimmers and coaches past, present, and future. Our hope is to improve diversity in aquatics by means of access and exposure to aquatic programs, water safety knowledge and experience with lessons, competitive swim teams, professional staff and water related activities.
