About Us
Our Goal
The goal of Black Girls Do Swim is to provide support, encouragement, education and community for African American women that desire to learn how to swim. In our communities it is rare to see Black girls swimming competitively or Black women participating in sports such as triathlon. We want to change that by motivating and encouraging African American women to learn how to swim. It is never too late to learn to swim and learning to swim could save your life.
