Swimming USA, Diversity in Aquatics visits Drew Charter School
On Friday, our 3rd graders had an unforgettable experience meeting four incredible athletes: Olympic Gold Medalists Maritza McClendon, Cullen Jones, and Jamal Hill, along with World Champion swimmer Sabir Muhammad โ a former Drew parent! They also got to meet teenage diver Sanna Chege, who is the author of A Diver Like Me.
The students were thrilled to see and touch real Olympic gold medals, answer questions to win prizes, and receive copies of Sannaโs inspiring book for their classrooms and the Media Center.
This event was made possible through a partnership with the HBCU Celebration Bowl and the Swimming USA Diversity in Aquatics Program. To top it all off, Swimming USA generously donated Speedo swimsuits, trunks, and life jackets to our school. The Olympians were so impressed with our students that they stayed to join the third graders during lunch โ it was a truly memorable day for everyone
