This company is trying to end a prevalent racial disparity by providing low-cost swimming education for Black children and adults.

For the past year, Paulana Lamonier has built up a business to provide low-cost swimming education for Black children and adults.Spencer Platt / Getty Images fileTwo years ago, Paulana Lamonier, 30, tweeted about wanting to teach 30 Black people to swim that summer.

Black People Will Swim has an online pledge available to sign in order to bring awareness and help others remain accountable on their swim journey. Lamonier said the message of Black People Will Swim lies in the acronym, F.A.C.E — Fun, Awareness, Community, Education. Lack of awareness stems from a lengthy history of racism as segregation kept Black people out of swimming pools that were located in wealthier, white neighborhoods. Today, many pools remain in predominantly white communities and not in Black neighborhoods, leaving Black families at a disadvantage. Lessons or pool membership fees can also be cost prohibitive.

For many Black competitive swimmers, the lack of representation can be alienating. Though Lamonier has competed on all-Black teams, she understands that swimming in predominantly white spaces is intimidating.

Wow. They need to be pampered with everything?

Cost of tickets based on race is racist.
