February Swimming Challenges & Apple Watch Giveaway

On Valentine’s Day, we asked our global community to share why they love to swim, and we received over 1,500 responses! We gave away an Apple Watch and some MySwimPro swag to the lucky winners. Watch the video here.

Black History Month
In honor of Black History Month, we wrote an article exploring the disparities that have prevented black people from swimming, including systemic racism and economic inequality. In the article, we asked black swimmers to share their take on the sport.
