Apparently almost 60% of Black children, and 55% of Hispanic kids can't swim.
With summer coming up that makes me sad. Swimming is a fun, inexpensive, and healthy activity. Growing up, I loved swimming and we did almost almost every day. If it wasn't at someone's home, or a community center, we went to the beach. When I moved to the South, I was surprised by how few people had pools. Particularly in Tennessee. There also seem to be few community pools. It's hot as the surface of the sun down here in the summer time. I hope that more summer swim programs for low income kids start popping up and that people take advantage of those kind of opportunities.
