[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a very diverse area of MoCo but our swim clubs (which are not geographically restricted) are not as diverse as the neighborhoods. Membership is expensive. I know plenty of non-diverse people who don't join them because they think the county pools are a better deal, they aren't that into swimming, two working parents, etc. These swim clubs were founded to keep POC out, so, there is a history to overcome.[/quote] I agree with this. I live in Burtonsville, it’s very diverse. But the private pools near us are majority white. My child is black and was one of three black kids on swim team this year. We both work but do shift work so can get her there. The public pool near us, MLK has mainly black people there. It’s a shame, i don’t know what the answer is.[/quote]
