Our Why
Adults who took structured survival swimming sessions have a higher chance of self-rescue in unexpected immersion.
Taking a swim session reduces the risk of drowning by 88%.
People with basic water training survived twice as long in open water compared to non-swimmers.
In their own words
“I am passionate about SWAG because water safety is often overlooked, yet it is life-saving. By offering free survival swimming at UC Davis, we’re creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space where professors, staff, and students can feel truly confident around the water.”
“I want every Aggie to feel confident and safe in the water. Water safety isn’t just a skill, it’s peace of mind, freedom, and confidence that carries far beyond the pool.”
