[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue isn't necessarily money but it's skin color. POC tend to not want to get darker, esp in earlier generations. Swimming was an outdoor activity. Every POC I know has a relative or knows someone who has a skin color issue about getting darker. Signed, POC [/quote] I agree but money is still an issue. I live in the burbs and I haven't met a PoC (including AAs) that didn't swim. We have a pool, live in a diverse neighborhood with kids of all races coming over to play, and the only neighbor who's children struggled with swimming (at 7 & 11) were white. That had more to do with the mom not letting them swim due to her own fears. Not having money to afford swim lessons, living in an area where public pools are very crowded, and parents not knowing how to swim are probably all contributing factors.[/quote]
