#OurSwimStory
The BSA commissioned #OurSwimStory in response to the underrepresentation of people of African, Caribbean and Asian heritage in swimming and aquatic activities, and their lack of vital water safety knowledge, which places these communities at high risk of drowning.
#OurSwimStory is a landmark research project, exploring the lived experiences with water safety and aquatic activity of over 1,400 adults from Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse backgrounds. The research identified significant barriers to safe aquatic engagement and presented recommendations aimed at increasing water safety awareness and aquatic participation.
