Our Mission
To provide the Black, BIPOC, and underserved communities a safe space to learn how to swim and compete in an aquatic environment.
Our Purpose
To encourage the Black/BIPOC communities to compete, while creating a safe place where all youth of varying ethnic backgrounds can come together and enjoy being in the water. We aim to introduce swimming as an alternative sport that opens doors to diverse opportunities for success.
Our Training Groups
Beginner
For athletes ages 6–18 with no prior competitive experience, or those still developing foundational skills. Beginner swimmers focus on learning all four strokes, understanding basic rules, practicing dive techniques, and building endurance.
Intermediate
For athletes ages6 - 18 who are proficient in all strokes and legalities but have not yet achieved championship qualifying times. This group builds on Beginner fundamentals, introduces more complex skills, and increases speed and endurance work in preparation for advancement into the Gold (Championship) group.
Gold (Championship)
For athletes ages 6 - 18 who have achieved championship-level qualifying times and are striving for national-level competition. Gold swimmers focus heavily on strength training, speed development, and race strategy. Athletes in this group may be preparing for collegiate swimming, national meets, or higher-level competitive goals.
