This week's interview is with Tommie Jackson, our DEI Committee Chair, and incredible coach within the Georgia LSC. 

Today's episode is a Throwback Thursday episode with one of our former Georgia LSC coaches, Jim Young. Jim retired this past summer after many years of coaching in our LSC and dedicating his life to swimming. We are so honored to have sat down with him at the end of his career and hope that he is enjoying retirement!

In today's episode, we chat with Meredith Green, our Georgia LSC Vice Coaches Chair about all things swimming from her own career at the University of Florida, to now being a coach in Georgia. We also discuss her role as the Vice Coaches Chair and how she's enjoyed getting more involved with Georgia Swimming over the years.

This episode features Kai Smith and Nancy Harmon to discuss our very first Georgia Swimming Diversity Invitational on February 19, 2022. This meet is a celebration of our diversity, as well as recognizing the importance of coming together as a community for change. 

Our LSC will be collecting donations to go towards our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Committee's initiatives for the future. We discuss all the projects that the DEI committee will be planning to do this year and beyond in this episode.

We also discuss the importance of swimming as a life-saving skill for all. We at the Georgia LSC believe that everyone should learn to swim, no matter your age, race, ethnicity, ability, gender, etc.
