Lucila Davies Chair & Head Coach Background: Growing up in the foster care system in Los Angeles County, and despite the challenges, Luci found a place of growth and solace in aquatic sports. Luci's journey in masters water polo and swimming began with a stark realization: there were very few people of color and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds in these sports. Navigating this world wasn't easy. It required not only financial resources but also a high tolerance for the inaccessibility that often comes with it. Luci was fortunate to have the means and perseverance to pursue a passion. With 13 years of experience as a lifeguard, swim coach, and instructor, Luci's love for aquatics and desire to make these sports more inclusive have only deepened. Seeing the gaps and barriers firsthand inspired Luci to create an organization dedicated to providing accessible and equitable opportunities in aquatic sports for people of color and those lacking opportunities due to socioeconomic and community barriers. Through this initiative, Luci hopes to support and uplift individuals from diverse backgrounds, ensuring they too can experience the growth and joy that aquatics have brought into Luci's life. |
