[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm actually kind of amazed at how un-diverse swimming is. Only sport I've seen this so far.[/quote]

Well, I dont know where you are swimming but some of the very best teams in the area are primarily black.  Takoma Park has an absolutely amazing team that is at least 75-80% black.  Several community pools in PG County and Montgomery Co have phenomemal swim teams that are at least 50% if not more like 99%, black.  One of the best area summer leagues is the Prince-Mont league.  It has a few DC clubs and then the rest are in PG and MoCo.  You may need to get out more.[/quote]

Oh, and I am a white mom and our NW DC team, MVP Dolphins, is primarily white but also has kids who are black, Hispanic, Asian, quite a nice mix actually and a great group of kids.  It is open to any and all who want to join.  Practices are in the evenings at the Lab School's indoor.  Home meets are also at lab School and on Saturdays.   We travel to away meets all around DC, MoCo, and PG.  The coaches are really great and it a fun team for all ages.  Google it if you are looking for a nice, summer team.[/quote]
