  • Summary

  • Can you swim? Over 58% of Black children can't swim, nearly double the rate for white children. This issue traces back to years of racial segregation, that prevented generations of Black Americans from learning to swim, leaving them unable to teach the future generations.

    Join us today as we explore the historical reasons behind why many Black folks don't swim.
