The Numbers Are Shocking—But They’re Not the Whole Story 🌊 Over 3 million lives have been lost to drowning in the past decade. In 2021 alone, an estimated 300,000 people drowned—43% were children 14 or younger. These numbers are devastating, but they are not inevitable. At Diversity In Aquatics, we’re working alongside the aquatics community to change the tide—through education, access, and action. Drowning is preventable, and together, we can save lives. 💙 Get involved. Be the change. The work starts now. Link in bio. _____ #StopDrowning #WaterSafety #DiversityInAquatics #BeTheChange

Today we're celebrating the incredible contributions of Dr. Charles R. Drew. He was not just an accomplished American surgeon and medical researcher but also an unyielding activist against racial segregation. He revolutionized blood transfusion techniques, set up the first American Red Cross Blood Bank, and saved countless lives during World War II with his innovative concept of bloodmobiles. Dr. Drew was the first African American to earn a Doctor of Science in Medicine degree and was awarded the prestigious Spingarn Medal for his invaluable work. Many might not know that he also served as a lifeguard, demonstrating his lifelong commitment to saving lives in and out of the medical field. Today, many schools, health facilities, and institutions proudly bear his name, commemorating the life and legacy of this remarkable individual. Diversity In Aquatics celebrates Dr. Drew's contributions, and we will continue to honor his legacy by fostering inclusive and diverse spaces for aquatic activities. , and we will continue to honor his legacy by fostering inclusive and diverse spaces for _______ #DiversityInAquatics #BlackExcellence #BlackHistoryMonth
