The goal of our Diversity in Aquatics Program (DAP) is to help create and promote more local DAP programs, as well as to create a forum for interaction, communication, and news.

 

Welcome!

In the United States 10 people drown per day; over 370,000 people drown worldwide each year!

Welcome to the Diversity in Aquatics professional network! The goal of the Diversity in Aquatics Program (DAP) is to help create, promote and support programs in the US and abroad in an effort to decrease the rate of drowning victims worldwide. It also serves as a forum for interaction, communication, and news to promote diversity within the aquatic community. We hope you enjoy the network and website, and urge you to invite other friends and professional associates. Please send any questions, comments or postings to the site founders Shaun Anderson or Jayson Jackson.

United States Congressman Fattah welcomes you to the Diversity in Aquatics network!
