Water Belongsto Everyone.

African & Pacific Community Aquatics Association

Building a future where every African and Pacific Islander can swim, stay safe, and thrive in the water.

Why APCAA Exists

More Than Swimming.

We exist to close the gap.

African and Pacific Islander communities are significantly underrepresented in aquatics. APCAA was founded to change that — through programs, pathways, and community.

Water Safety

Essential water safety education that could save lives — in pools, rivers, beaches and beyond.

Learn to Swim

Structured swimming lessons for all ages and abilities, from beginners to confident swimmers.

Inclusive Programs

Programs designed to welcome everyone, removing barriers to participation for African communities.

Education & Development

Pathways for coaches, officials and leaders from within our community to grow and lead.

Fin Swimming

One of the fastest-growing aquatic sports in the world — and central to APCAA's unique identity.
