From the Creek to the Curriculum

Coach Archie delivers a lot in these powerful 3 minutes, from learning to swim in the creek, his early days at West Virginia State where swimming was compulsory, building Norfolk State’s first pool on the beach with a tractor, and finally making swimming compulsory at Norfolk State by making sure it was included in the curriculum.

Jenny Levison turned me on to your group--you guys are doing important work. I know that Boy Scouts can be one way to get kids from urban areas exposed to swimming.

Hi Jason, I read your information on the Black History Invitational Swim Meet. I am sure that you have thought about this, but I will ask the question: Are all the registered USA swim teams and swimmers in the U.S. notified and made aware of this important meet? If they are not, you are missing an important link in getting the message to the right people. There are now many Black swimmers swimming on traditional USA swim teams, especially on the East Coast. I am sure you know this, but thought to add my two cents worth. Take care, talk to you soon.

Hi Jayson,
I am the Aquatic Manager at an African American non-profit organiation. I was trying to find an organization who will host a swim clinic at our site, I was browsing and I saw the link on The Josh Project. I work with inner city children in the community and I think that a swim clinc would be beneficial to these children and the families in the community.

My supervisor has been a member and she has been sending me links to this site. I figured it was just time for me to become a member myself!

Hi Jayson,
My brother teaches swimming down in Florida. He is a triathelete and has been talking to me about joining a masters team and swimming more. I recently moved from Florida and still exploring the DC area.
Best,
Therese

I heard about this from Miriam Lynch. We both coach out of the same pool and she told me about it one day at practice.
