[quote=Anonymous]It is so much more than swim clubs - there is a lack of swim lessons in urban areas due to everything from actual pools to accessibility, to timing and cost. Fundamentally learning how to swim is the first step and if clubs wants to see more diversity they need to offer learn to swim as a pipeline - I would include the parents as part of learning to swim as well - invite the parents and kids to meets, set up mentorships, have clinics and presentations on the opportunities available, work with HBCU's on partnerships, etc. I don't live in DC, but I do live in a very diverse, but racially divided, part of the country. Our club team does some of the above, but I think there needs to be even more. [/quote]
