🏊🏾‍♀️ Racism & Swimming

Did you know 64% of Black children can't swim; 45% of Hispanic children can't swim; 40% of White children can't swim; 10 people a day die from unintentional drowning; and besides birth defects, drowning is the #1 cause of death for children ages 1-4? Once upon a time, everyone did not have equal access to pools around the country. But, water is a natural part of who we all are, it should never be feared, and everyone from the youngest to the oldest should know how to swim. It's a life skill that can save lives!
