Moments that change generations.

Jordan defined swimming as

“me playing in the pool and jumping in and having lots of fun.”

Having her daughter in a culturally relevant program was important beyond learning water safety because

“the first thing is exposure and representation… we need to see that it's okay, we can thrive, that we can, that we're able to do all kinds of things, and it's not, we're not limited… I like that idea.”

She shared that swimming is often not a priority in African American culture, which is why enrolling her daughter in S.A.F.E. Kids Swim was important.

Shaneice noticed her granddaughter gained confidence during the program —

“not to be so fearful of the water, and I believe also that she's much more teachable about something she might not think she can do.”
