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.
