Diversity In Aquatic Councils are specialized communities within Diversity in Aquatics that unite individuals across various aquatic disciplines, such as swimming, diving, water polo, and adapted. These councils provide spaces to connect, share resources, and collaborate on promoting diversity, safety, and excellence. Open to all, they foster leadership, mentorship, and innovation while advancing our mission of creating inclusive aquatic spaces.

Can’t Find Your Sport or Aquatic Interest

Councils are active and engaged groups that connect online and in person. Each council is independently organized based on the interests of the group by the council chair and must adhere to the bylaws of our organization to reap the benefits of our network and have access to the resources and program assistance we offer.
