[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep segregated. Our pool Ft Myer swim team is the only team in Arlington in the Colonial league. NVSL didn’t want us because we are diverse and have always been so. Government employees can get a pool membership there. It’s open to all so North Arlington is allowed in. The membership is $750.00 no waiting list but you have to swim with military and south Arlington folks. Call 703 524 3037. Can also google Payton Hall pool.

You can join next year as non government if you join the swim team. It’s a way to get access to the pool. [/quote]

Ok, are you sure that’s the reason the Ft. Myer swim team isn’t part of the NVSL? That’s a pretty serious allegation. I’m open to learning that you’re right, but it strikes me as a pretty big leap. [/quote]

"Ft Myer is the only remaining original member of the Colonial Swimming League - a developmental league which was formed to allow all the opportunity to swim on a racially-level playing field."

"In 1961 to 1962, we founded the league because we didn't want segregation .  . . Ft Myer has a long history of being progressive in that way."

The other option was NVSL, which was segregated at that time.[/quote]
This is fascinating. [/quote]
