Hi — I’m Greg Shea. I’ve called Long Beach home for over 40 years, and I’m proud to live in a place that we know as the Aquatic Capital of America. Water is in my blood — whether it’s open water swims, or helping people learn to swim safely, the water is where I feel at home.
I serve as Vice President of the Aquatic Capital of America board. It’s a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Long Beach that celebrates the legacy of athletes, coaches, and who all excelled in their aquatic disciplines over many years.
Founded by yachtsman Tom Shadden, the name Aquatic Capital of America (ACOA) was approved as a slogan for the City of Long Beach in 2008.
ACOA promotes aquatic sports, water safety, youth programs, clean water initiatives, and making sure everyone has access to aquatic recreation.
Our premier program is "Waterproof Our Youth," donating funds to pay the costs for local youth from underserved areas of the city to local YMCA's, Long Beach City College, and other organizations offering youth swim lessons.
Please join with me by donating any amount of $10 or more through my personal page here. It's easy! Just click on the DONATE button.
With gratitude,
Greg
