THE MOBILE PORT CITY MARLINS
The Full Story
About
Mobile Port City Marlins is a fun instructional and competitive swim program dedicated to helping minority children improve water safety in their communities while fostering a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.
After his late wife died in a drowning accident, Coach Tinsley turned his pain into purpose. He then learned that African Americans have a higher prevalence of drowning than other races in general.
According to the USA Swimming Foundation:
-
64% of African American children do not know how to swim (compared to 40% of Caucasian children).
-
79% of children in families that earn less than $50,000 a year do not know how to swim.
-
76% of parents report that their children would be more interested in swimming if they saw a talented swimmer who looked like them.
