Micronesia, Phase 1
Like many island states and regions, Micronesia is a region entirely defined by water — yet drowning remains a leading cause of preventable death among youth. Open-water exposure is constant, but structured swim education is rare. Guam, as the region's most accessible hub, is the ideal launchpad for an initiative that will grow across the Pacific.
Visit structure — Guam, 8 days
Days 1–2
Community orientation & partner meetings
Connect with local coaches, schools, and organizations. Confirm participant rosters and coordinate with local supporters on curriculum goals.
Days 3–5
Learn-to-swim sessions
Morning and afternoon beginner sessions. Groups of up to 12 children, with local supporters present throughout to carry the curriculum forward.
Days 4–7
Elite technique clinics
IM focus, race mechanics, and mindset coaching for club and school team swimmers. Includes personal feedback sessions with all youth athletes.

Destinations
Guam, U.S. Territory
Active
Established aquatic facilities and an active youth swim community make Guam the ideal first stop and Pacific gateway.
Following Guam, the initiative expands to Palau and Saipan — where access to swim instruction is extremely limited.
This is just the beginning
Micronesia is stop one. The vision is a network of Olympian-led visits across Micronesia and beyond — each planting seeds for permanent local programs.
