9 Racial Segregation of American Swimming Pools Danny Lyon/Library of Congress

14 Pools to Control Urban Minorities Chicago Tribune

15 Pools to Control Urban Minorities Wiltse: Local and national politicians believed that swimming pools would help alleviate the social tensions that precipitated the violence and quite literally cool down angry and frustrated urban blacks (p. 182).

16 Mobile Mini Pools

17 Pools to Control Urban Minorities Wiltse: Cities throughout the country rushed to build pools that would essentially quarantine angry black citizens (p. 210).

18 Portable Mini Pools

19 Pools to Control Urban Minorities Wiltse: Public officials used municipal pools as asylums, to concentrate the urban poor at particular public spaces so that they would not wreak havoc elsewhere (p. 210).

20 Swimming Today in U.S. AA adolescent girls report higher fear of swimming than any other racial group AA parents more fearful of their children drowning compared to white parents Swimming has become an activity of privilege Perceived to be a white activity Social justice problem Essential life skill How did history get us here?
