Welcome to the site and hope you find it as interesting and informative as we have. Way to go Mom, by involving your chidren actively in sound swim programs. It is my desire that more DAP Members take the time and read through some of your blog, which I found very informative and interesting. I can see that your passion for swimming is what's needed by more of us as African American Parents, who did not have opportunities afforeded to us, in order that we not only decrease the statistics in drowning by African American Children, but to excel as well in the sport of swimming, like we do more naturally in Football, Basketball, and Baseball. Your Blog is "The Bomb", as I perused the articles, before going back to read more details. My favorite one was about MJ Amin, who swan the 100 yard Fly in 50.06 seconds. Damn, that Brother was Olympic quality. I personally worked with some of Morehouse Phenominal Swimmers from Chicago during the summers of 1976-79. These brothers use to swim across the entire Jackson Park Beach just practicing and preparing thenselves for the upcoming season. Angela, Keep up the good work, because I will personally read your Blogs on a continuos basis. I enjoyed the blog about your 6 year old, "I Can;t Beleive". Take Care and May God Continue To Find Favor In All That You Put Your Talents and Gifts To Sharing With The Rest Of Us who are just as concerned. Keep swimming My Sister. You will surely succeed in the Masters Program. Darrick
