I saw an article about Bruce Wigo and the award he received at the NDPA last week. Thought Wahooo could contribute to your mission!

Additionally, I would love to talk with someone from your group about your mission, events, etc... I think it could be a great profile. Let me know if you are interested and who I might be able to speak with in regard to this. Make it a great day!

I struggle with explaining to people why they should learn how to swim (apparently fun and safety aren't enough reasons), and wanted in! Will donate when I can. Thanks for such a project!

South Carolina does not have programs to exposure minority children to aquatic so most of the work in SC, I do alone.

I attend the 2011 Diversity Summit in Colorado Springs in November. Everything is new to me from a national perspective so there is so much for to learn. Thank-you

At 10:43am on January 15, 2012, Donald Moody said…: We're planning a masters meet this fall at Tennessee State University, attempting to resurrect some of the HBCU former swimmers/programs. Decades of exceptional swimmers came through these schools, so in an attempt to prove from an historical perspective how blacks and other minorities have made statements in swimming, in America, since the early part of the 1920's and before. So to answer your question, I stumbled across this site purely by accident. Glad that I did!
