The national sorority Sigma Gamma Rho recently announced a community oriented partnership with USA Swimming during their national Boule earlier this month. This initiative has been established with several goals in mind. Both organizations would like to promote water safety education and encourage entry into the sport of swimming. The sorority will use the established platform that USA Swimming has created on SwimToday.org . This site will allow the sorority to offer water safety education and learn to swim programs within their member curriculum and community service outreach starting fall of 2012. With 500 chapters across the USA, Sigma Gamma Rho will become a resource for getting the word out about the importance of learning to swim and water safety. The sorority also plans to include water safety as a part of their Rhoer Curriculum, youth symposium and Project Reassurance teachings.
This partnership is certain to add a positive community impact on the number of people throughout our nation that become active swimmers and understand the importance of water safety. The sport of swimming is attractive to all age groups because participation does not require high impact or expensive equipment.
