[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was another thread where someone mentioned Little Falls Swim Club being a clique-y pool. And a DP said maybe there's a lack of DEI, which I understand to be diversity, equity and inclusion. It's challenging because the clubs are locality based and, well, these aren't economically or racially diverse places. How can swim clubs be more inclusive?[/quote] I find this to be a funny statement. Our swim club has tremendous DEI. We swim against team after team that does not. Most of these pools are in affluent areas and chose schools with low FARMS and high Greatschool ratings (probably the vehicle that perpetuates racism more than anything). We live in a nice neighborhood but with bad schools by DCUM standards. If you hit the real estate board or even the education stuff they will tell you - STAY away from south Arlington, Alexandria, Annandale, etc. You can't move away from brown people and then want to bus them into your pools.[/quote]
