‼️February is Black History Month‼️✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Propel would like to Highlight a few incredible leaders that have gone on throughout black history to help mold the swim community we all are a part of today!
Charles Chapman, “Charlie the Tuna,” became the first Black swimmer to cross the English Channel in 1981. He swam 21 miles for 12 hours and 30 minutes to accomplish this feat. He won the International Swimming Hall of Fame’s Gold Medallion Award for his achievement.
Chapman is also known for his swims around Alcatraz Island in San Francisco, California. He completed the 3.5-mile swim around Alcatraz in 1978 in 36 minutes. At the time, Chapman was the third person and first Black person to complete this swim. In 1983, he did a butterfly swim around Alcatraz and swam to Aquatic Park in San Francisco. As one of the most accomplished long-distance influential Black swimmers, he continued to break records in the 1980s.

❄️As soon as the winter is over your children will want to go back to the swimming pool or beach. ☀️ If they are returning to the water after a long absence their survival skills will have regressed and they might not be safe in the water anymore! 😮 Continuing with lessons in the winter months means they will be much safer in the water when the summer comes. 👍 😎

‼️February is Black History Month‼️✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 Propel would like to Highlight a few incredible leaders that have gone on throughout black history to help mold the swim community we all are a part of today!
Maritza Correia McClendon was the first black American to set an American and world swimming record, and the first female black Olympic swimmer to join the U.S. team. By the time she was 18, she became the 50-meter freestyle U.S. national champion in the 18-and-under category. She went on to take one gold in the 2002 National Championships, and gold in the 2003 World Championships, as well as one gold and two bronze medals at the 2011 World Championships. In 2004, she made the Olympic team and won silver as part of the 4×100-meter freestyle relay in Athens, Greece.
As the first black female swimmer on the Olympic team, she paved the way for other great black swimmers, She said that she “want[ed] to inspire other minorities to get involved with swimming and love it as much as I do…I’m proud to be the first, but I don’t want to be the last.”

Did you know swimming makes you smart?🧠
Swimming has been proven to assist with brain development, coordination, motor skills, concentration, academic performance and balance. Regular exercise is proven to be beneficial for increased focus in the classroom. A few months out of the water can cause a decline in overall performance inside and outside of the water!

We've been asking all our instructors who have been swimming their whole lives, what are the benefits of swimming? 🏊♀️
This is Ms. Sarah, she started at JMU this semester. When we asked Ms. Sarah how college was going, she was excited to say she was part of JMU club swim! Club swim has given Ms. Sarah a chance not only continue swimming but also make friends! Swimming can improve social well being, and can create friendships to last a lifetime!
