Hi, I am doing a research project on why there seems to be less black swimmers than white-i'm looking at all angles (physiological and psychological). If anyone could help with any ideas or common stereotypes I'd appreciate it. I know there are alot of arguements for and against each idea so anything anyone could offer would be very much welcome. Thanks in advance, Steph

All of the stereotypes are discussed in the "Black Folks Don't Swim " clip along with typical support for an activity that must demand more attention by Black folks. It reminds me of a question asked by a friend some years ago, near the start of my aquatics career as a college professor: "Do you need to know how to swim to be happy?" I cannot answer that question for someone else.
