At 12:48pm on February 23, 2011, Merari Hall Chollette said…: Shaun, let me know how I can help you further the cause of Diversity in Aquatics. A little more about me. I am Cuban, speak fluent Spanish and English language. I never learned how to swim real well but am proud to be the mother of two young girls ages 7 & 9 that are doing well in competitive swimming in Northern Virginia. My neighbor and friend Art Lopez is the founder of Nadar por Vida, a similar organization targeting the Hispanic population of young swimmers. My professional background is in the non-profit health care industry in marketing, communications & project management. I was a leader within the Diversity Council for Blue Cross Blue Shield Association employees for 10 years. My daughters coach for summer and USA Swim league is Elvin Foreman Jr..Let me know if I can use my background or experience to help your organization. Kindest Regards...

At 12:15pm on February 10, 2011, Rita Bourne said…: Hello Mr. Anderson, Thank you for this opportunity to say Great Job and I am truly pleased to be part of such a wonderful group of professionals that speak the same language. I asked permission yesterday to be friended, because I am looking for 4 (four) aquatic professionals interested in teaching this spring/summer here in Fort Lauderdale with me. My school's name is 'Bourne Swim Academy', I am registered with the State of Florida and have my credentials as a WSI working for the City of Lauderhill a mixed community , But very slow in being pro-active when it comes swimming and water safety, however, I am one of the Aquatic individuals that participate on the Drowing Prevention group here in Fort lauderdale and would love to do more, more, more. To conclude, I can be reached also @ www.butafly64@gmail.com, and any advise or wisdom offered is a blessing. Thank you. RitaB.

At 10:04am on February 8, 2011, Ellen Minzner said…: Shuan, Thanks for starting this. I work in community-based rowing programs, and am particularly concerned about the lack of swimming ability for the Latino community, particularly in Lawrence, MA. Many people there are fearful to join the community boathouse for fear/lack of understanding about the river, but the irony is that is where they can best learn to safely respect and enjoy the river. We have initiated the boater safety protocol of "reach, throw, go" for persons in the water, but more is needed there. Boys and Girls clubs and the Y can only do so much. Thanks for creating this site, and I hope to gain more ways to promote river safety there.
