[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP AA woman. My parents grew up down South during Jim Crow and don't swim. They started me in lessons when I was 4. My cousin and I took lessons together and he was a life guard at one point. I swim regularly at the pools in DC now. The hair thing is an issue, but getting the exercise is more important to me. Many many many of my AA friends don't know how to swim and will not get in the water because of hair issues. [/quote] Ignorant question on the hair issues: is the problem just related to chlorine and other chemicals in a standard pool? Or would swimming in the ocean (or a salt-water pool) or lake cause the same problems?[/quote]
