Swim in 1 Day SID Africa
EMPOWERING AFRICA THROUGH SWIMMING & SPREADING AWARENESS!

Dedicated to promoting and teaching swimming to black Africans in the fastest possible manner, to eradicate the black drowning pandemic and close the incredible gap of racial disparities in fatal drowning rates involving blacks that is evident through worldwide statistical data and studies. Swim in 1 Day SID Africa is a Non-Discriminatory, Non-Religious, Non-Political and Non-Profit Organization that welcomes all and is at the service of the most vulnerable in every community it finds itself.
SID Motto: “Better Safe Than Sorry” is our code that drives our mission to transform Africa’s reactive crisis response into proactive resilience. In a world of escalating climate emergencies, “Empowerment is survival,” and “Swimming is its symbol”.
Our Formula for Change:
⇨ Preparedness= Swimming Skills
- Drowning doesn’t wait. Neither should education.
⇨ Awareness= Climate & Disability Inclusion
- Breaking barriers so no one is left behind.
⇨ Justice = Equal Access for All
- Building societies where safety and opportunity aren’t privileges, but rights.
SID envisions a continent where: proaction replaces panic, inclusion overcomes indifference, and collaboration conquers crisis.
