Our Purpose

This retreat aims to break down cultural barriers and promote water safety and empowerment.

Together with our generous sponsors, we will provide a safe, supportive environment where Black women can confront their fear of water, learn to swim, and build community.

Let's change the narrative. Swimming is a vital life skill. We all deserve to reclaim our joy in the water.
