Johnnie Means Aquatics

For more than six decades, Johnnie Means Aquatics has been transforming lives by expanding access to swimming, water safety, and athletic excellence for underserved youth throughout Houston. Its story began in 1961 when legendary coach Johnnie Means challenged segregation by advocating for the desegregation of competitive swimming in Texas, creating opportunities for countless African American children to learn, compete, and excel in the sport. As the founder of one of the nation’s first swim programs at a historically Black university and later the Harris County Aquatics Program, Coach Means built a legacy of excellence that has produced thousands of swimmers and champions while breaking barriers both in and out of the pool.
