We had a community pool that cost only a quarter to swim all day. All the kids could swim regardless of ethnicity. However, a lot of the moms of the black kids (especially the girls) would not let them go swimming because of what the water did to their hair. That was back in the day when the only way to straighten hair was to use a hot comb. I, too, wasn't allowed to go swimming a lot because as a blonde, the chlorine turned my hair green! Also, it's all relative. My husband is Hawaiian and swam from infancy. According to him, whites and blacks are lousy swimmers.
