Legacy Aquatics

A former U.S Navy Search & Rescue Veteran, Jordan Hunter created Legacy Aquatics to help kids and adults get a step ahead. Along with his love and success through triathlons, Jordan believes in the importance of access to training and resources for all athletes, regardless of race, gender identity, or background.

Water Facts & Stats

70 % of Black adults in the United States cannot swim, a fact attributable to a complex mix of political, cultural, economic and geographical factors limiting access to pools, and the ramifications of generations lacking a strong swimming culture.”

Swim Lessons

Focuses on one-on-one instruction, which is the most effective style of instruction. While students are allowed to develop at their own pace, I place an emphasis on quickly mastering safety skills and excellent swimming techniques. By encouraging my students to attend multiple lessons each week, they are able to practice, reinforce, and retain their skills and advance at a faster rate.

We also offer semi-private sessions at 4:1 student to instructor ratio. Keeping classes small promotes maximum learning for all students

Triathlons

Triathlon has 3 components: Swimming, Biking & Running. And Less than 0.5% percent of people who participate in triathlons are African-American. The issues surrounding lack of diversity in triathlon stem from deep-rooted discrepancies in privilege, wealth, culture, perceived social constructs, and actual social behavior. Legacy Aquatics is working with local communities to highlight and expand the impact that African-Americans have in these athletic spaces.
