Hi Jayson and Shaun. I am a physical therapist that loves to swim. I wrote an article about swimming that spoke of amputees in swimming.  I am getting ready to submit the article but I need pictures of amputees and nonamputees swimming as well as performing core stabilization exercises that I have listed in the article. I would really love to showcase african american swimmers. Do you know of anyone that might be interested and available to meet sometime next week to have their picture taken either swimming or performing certain exercises? My email address is sgdolphin@gmail.com  Thanks :)

I heard about you via the National Black Heritage Chamionship Swim Meet web site. I will be attending the event this weekend, for sure Sat, maybe Sun, hopefully both days. Every time I attend I get goose bumps and sometimes my eye's fell with tears. During the 50s and 60s this was without a doubt none exsistant. Its wounderfull to see so many Black children competing, but the most important point of all is the family support and they come from all over the U.S. What a wounderfull site to see. My heart fills with pride and is overjoyed that swimming is begining to take hold among Black American's who once, long, long ago, were considered among the best swimmers in the world.

Hey Jay

Can you send another set of Tee's (3x's)?

Hi Jayson.

 I heard about this initiative at the International Aquatic History Symposium and Film Festival.

Hi Jayson. I heard about the site from Shaun he was at the first annual CARD meeting on Wednesday. I am so happy that more people are working on this issue that is dear to my heart.

Keep up the good work!

Thank you,

Carrie

I found you by searching for contact information for Tara Eggleston.  I read her Minority Report article in Aquatics International.

HI Jackson,

We met at the NDPA Symposium.

Greetings!  We discovered y'all through Rue Mapp, founder of Outdoor Afro;) We are excited to be jointly working on a project to inspire African Americans to get outside and enjoy more water recreational activities... i.e. swimming, paddling etc. We would love to work with y'all on this project as well! Please let me know the best way to contact you via email.

Many thanks!

Hey Jayson. I read about this Site because I was looking up Swimmers like Michael Phelps and Cullen Jones, who both of those guys are my inspiration, i looked up on Youtube about Black Swimmers. I looked up  the videos about the Swim meets and I was intrigued. I wanted to join a College where I can join a swim team. My community College doesn't have a Swim Team.

Greetings, Jayson.  It has been a few weeks since I last visited DAP, and I must say that like the new look.  More friendly!

I am involved with  Wahooo Swim Monitor Systems  and interested in drowning prevention.  I saw an article about Bruce Wigo and the award he received at the NDPA last week.  Thought Wahooo could contribute to your mission!  Check us out at wahooosms.com or like us on Facebook for updates, installations & promotions - wahooosms.com/facebook.  Thanks for all you do.

Was looking for the Schooner Fairweather and saw Suttie Adams' site here. I sailed on her parent's boat as a kid and wanted to say hi to Suttie.

I was surfing the web and entered the site of Aquatics International. 

Hi Jayson - my friend Ahelee Sue Osborn is a member.  Great cause.
