[quote=Anonymous]50YO AA here. Learned to swim because I used to spend summers with my grandparents down South. They owned a farm with a man made swimming pond - it was not a pool - All my cousins who lived there could swim so I learned to keep up with them. Nothing motivates like having to stand on the bank while they are playing all these games in the water. My mother who grew up on that farm could swim. My urban father could not for man of the reason cited above. He grew up in Memphis. Nearest city pool where Blacks could swim was miles away. Both of my children can swim - both took lessons at Olney Swim Center as kids. [/quote]
