We are excited to premier the very first episode of The “Changing the Narrative” series. This compelling documentary that uses a direct-to-camera approach to explore the lives of young Black individuals in London, highlighting various aspects of their daily experiences, challenges, and perspectives on swimming.
The documentary highlights their daily realities through their personal experiences and interactions at home, work, and social settings such as hair salons, gyms, and local bars. At it’s heart, the film confronts the crucial issue of limited participation in aquatics among African, Caribbean, and Asian communities by engaging these individuals in conversations about their experiences and the broader social implications. Through candid direct-to-camera conversations and interviews on swimming, a variety of topics including mental health, physical health, aquatic career pathways, family challenges, dietary choices, religion and culture, media and entertainment and so much more are also explored.
A new episode will be dropping each week from now till the end of October. Please check back for the next one, share, like and subscribe.

Thank you, Sue, for your ongoing support. A few days ago, someone asked me if reframing the term "Lifeguard" to mean the Lifeguard ecosystem shifts the responsibility of saving a life from the professionals to the individual. I explained that the responsibility has always rested
Ed, a happy new year to you too. Let us hope we can continue to make a difference and prevent more drownings, improve prevention and increase knowledge across communities re the importance of water safety. Keep going!
