Iโm mixed & swam all my life as my Black mother couldnโt and didnโt want her kids to be the same. I now run an adult swim school where 90% of swimmers are Black women & I am director of a CIC that runs free lessons in W. London for kids & women. A few observations:
Sport England statistics show 95% of Black British adults donโt swim & 80% of Black British children donโt swim. What are your experiences of swimming? Can you swim? If so, where & how did you learn? If not, why not? Were there any barriers?

Great conversation from @ed_accura on barriers to prevent black people from swimming. Fascinating discussion and a must listen to understand the challenges faced. Lets never forget, swimming is a life skill and a sport!
These open and transparent conversations are bound to provoke a few upsets, for instance the comments on funding bids (see clip). Itโs only by having these honest discussions can we together even begin to make a change. Watch 'Why We Don't Talk About SWIM'

.@LewisPugh โSwimming is more than just a sport for me. Itโs a way of telling a powerful story about what is happening to our planet. Those of us who use oceans and rivers surely have a duty to be their guardians. If we donโt, who will?โ #openwater

Great to see โฆ@hector_pardoeโฉ speak about issues facing open water swimmers. Highlighting access to water is an ongoing issue at all levels. Sustainability in sport: 'Water companies need to be held accountable'

Open water swimmer Hector Pardoe is every bit an athlete in his prime but fears the water he competes in is harming him.
