SWIM 1922

The partnership with USA Swimming is a groundbreaking initiative that seeks to strengthen our commitment to Diversity and Inclusion and increase swim participation and decrease drowning rates in the community. In keeping with USA Swimming’s core objectives: Build the Base – Promote the Sport – Achieve Competitive Success and the Sigma Gamma Rho motto of Greater Service, Greater Progress, these organizations come together to affect change and influence the community of black women and girls.

Alpha Sigma hosts a variety of Swim 1922 informative and interactive events throughout the year.

2024 Swim1922 Recap

Community Impact

The Alpha Sigma Chapter received a generous donation from One America to offer FOUR Swim1922 Water Safety Lessons completed between July 2024-December 2024

All ages received instruction, skills, and lessons for FREE

At our final event, the holiday edition, families were able to enjoy snacks, play games, eat lunch, meet Olympic Swimmer Natalie Hinds and receive up to two toys donated by Pacer Sports!

Many participants stated they walked away from the events feeling more comfortable getting in the water. Participants were able to ease their fears and many accomplished things they had never done such as putting their face in the water, submerging themselves under water and floating!
