Building Networks

Diversity in Aquatics is the nation’s largest network of ethnically diverse aquatic professionals, athletes, enthusiasts, and researchers joining the quest to help save lives from the global threat of drowning.

Empowering Programs

Part of our mission is to promote and increase the number of quality aquatic programs at the community level to provide hands-on and boots-on-the-ground opportunities throughout the nation.

Ending Epidemics

Drowning is a global burden affecting all people, yet more than 90% of drowning deaths occur in low and middle-income countries, with drowning rates highest among children and minorities.
