Swim 1922 Water Safety Event

DIVE IN with us for a 2-hour swim clinic for youth ages 5-13 aimed to increase water safety and basic swimming techniques to help youth feel safe and comfortable in the water.

Swim 1922 is a national partnership with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., and USA Swimming created to address the unfortunate truth that according to the CDC, approximately 10 people drown every day in the U.S.A. The goal of Swim 1922 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.

This event will be held on May 18, 2024

Registration check-in will be from 9:30 am – 10:00 am EST.

The clinic will be from 10 am – 12 pm at the Holloway Center 101 N. Myrtle Avenue, Kinston, NC 28501
