(via Soror Alana Hans)
USA Swimming and Sigma Gamma Rho have announced a partnership that will encourage participation in the sport of swimming, from learn-to-swim to competition. This partnership between a sport’s governing body and an historically black sorority is the first of its kind. Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. will function as an extension of USA Swimming’ s online SwimToday.org platform, which provides the tools, resources and information that individuals of all ages need to learn to swim, find a learn to swim or competitive swim program, meet their fitness goals and be active in the sport.
Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority’s aim is to enhance the quality of life within the community. Public service, leadership development and education of youth are the hallmark of the organization’s programs and activities. Sigma Gamma Rho addresses concerns that impact society educationally, civically, and economically.
