Beta Psi Sigma is hosting its third annual wet clinic about swim safety at the Nassau Aquatics Center at Eisenhower Park. USA Swim Coaches from NU-Finmen Swimming Team will be teaching swim and water safety skills alongside members of Beta Psi Sigma.

Swim 1922 is the partnership between USA Swimming and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated created to increase swim participation and decrease drowning rates within the African-American community by engaging local communities with swimming programming.

Olympians, USA Swim coaches and members of the sorority teach the community about water safety and how to swim. In our more than 90 years of existence, Sigma Gamma Rho has partnered and aligned ourselves with a number of organizations with like values, foci and community thrusts. With USA Swimming, Sigma Gamma Rho has touched close to 20,000 lives directly with the projection of changing multiple generations to come. Sigma Gamma Rho has reduced the level of fear and apprehension within the African-American community regarding water safety in general and swimming specifically. This joint venture has opened minds, changed attitudes, provided opportunities and opened doors for youth and adults; The campaign has had a direct effect on those who are predisposed to be fearful or simply uninterested in water activities due to lack of access and exposure. The Swim 1922 Campaign has managed to change the misguided notions about swimming and water safety.
