The clinic will focus on basic water safety and drowning prevention education.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;m always eager to use the platform my swimming career has given me to effect positive change for others,\u201d Ervin said in an Imagine Swimming release. Ervin had previously worked as an instructor for Imagine Swimming. I&#8217;m grateful for the opportunity to teach these kids about water safety and the sport of swimming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 40-year-old Ervin has one of the most illustrious sprint histories in the sprot\u2019s history. At age 19, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/great-races-when-teammates-gary-hall-jr-and-anthony-ervin-shared-olympic-gold-in-50-freestyle-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he tied for the gold medal in the men\u2019s 50 freestyle<\/a> with fellow American <strong>Gary Hall Jr.<\/strong> at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. He added silver in the men\u2019s 400 free relay at those games. Sixteen years later, he became the oldest man to win a gold medal in the Olympics when he won the 50 at the Rio Olympics, adding relay gold. Ervin also won two long-course World Championships in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s long been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/nobody-gets-to-tell-you-how-to-lead-anthony-ervin-weighs-in-on-ioc-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an outspoken advocate<\/a> for racial justice and representation in swimming. He\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/anthony-ervin-named-to-usopc-athletes-advisory-council\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">also a member of the<\/a> United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee\u2019s Athletes\u2019 Advisory Council.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is all about making swim safety instruction accessible,\u201d Imagine Swimming\u2019s chief aquatics officer <strong>Brendan O&#8217;Melveny<\/strong> said. \u201cEvery day, there are nearly 10 accidental drowning deaths in this country, and it\u2019s preventable. Further, the fatal-drowning rate of Black and African American children is three times higher than that of white children. We want to start changing these statistics, and our annual BROOKLYN SWIMS event is one way we can help. It&#8217;s all the more special this year, as we had to cancel the event last year due to the pandemic, and now, we will be joined by three-time Olympic gold medalist Anthony Ervin, our close friend, Imagine alum, and one of the fastest human beings ever to race through water.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anthony Ervin to Join Imagine Swimming\u2019s Annual Brooklyn Swims Event Three-time Olympic gold medalist Anthony Ervin will join forces with Imagine Swimming for its annual Brooklyn Swims event on Tuesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8367,"featured_media":491447,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"dois","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[15],"tags":[5223,129823,129822,129821,59645,74743],"class_list":["post-491446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry","tag-anthony-ervin","tag-brendan-omelveny","tag-brooklyn-swims","tag-imagine-swimming","tag-learn-to-swim","tag-water-safety"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v24.3) -
