Trish Miller, MBA, MPH

My professional background is in public health, however, my passion for swimming came from my own personal experience with the water. When I was a freshman in college, I almost drowned while on spring break with friends. The next thing I remember is having to be rescued by one of my friends. As I continued to progress in my career, I started to become aware that my story was not unique, that nearly 70% of Black people do not know how to swim well. And unfortunately, these numbers result in drowning rates of Black children that are ten times that of white children. It became my mission to do something about these devastating statistics.
