Swimming with Sharks: How one non profit is changing the way marginalized communities see these creatures of the deep.

Saison 3 · Épisode 6

vendredi 8 avril 2022 • Durée 34:09

When many think about people in marine sciences, and in particular shark sciences, Black folk in general and Black women in particular are not the first that spring to mind, but there is a new organization that is striving to be seen and take up space in a discipline which has been largely inaccessible to minoritized communities. We'll speak to, Jasmine Graham, co-founder, president and CEO of Minorities in Shark Sciences, about their mission, programs, ecological racism, and their efforts to dispel the myth about sharks in the Black community.

Swimming in the Heart of Motown: How Detroit All Star Aquatics are revising a Black Swim Tradition

Saison 3 · Épisode 5

vendredi 25 mars 2022 • Durée 26:11

Detroit was once know as the Motor City and the birthplace of MoTown, but it was also home to one of the most thriving Black swim communities in the country, where great swim legends like Robert "Bucky" Johnson, and Clyde James plied their trade. Notable swim coaches like Carl Edwards and Clarance Gatliffe paced the decks, but like so many other rich Black swimming traditions racism, access, and lack of interest began to erode this mecca of aquatic excellence. But one man is changing that for the better. We'll speak to Coach Ja'Von Waters, Sr., head coach of the Detroit All Stars, and founder and director of Aqualyfe about Detroit's swimming past and its bright future.

Allies or Girl Bosses?: How White Female Swimmers Need to Speak Out

Saison 2 · Épisode 21

vendredi 29 octobre 2021 • Durée 01:04:35

Since last summer's uprising after the lynching of George Floyd, many White people said that they would stand with Black and Brown folk to demand systemic change that imbrues this racist society. White female athletes like Sue Bird, Megan Rapinoe, and Paige Bueckers, have come to the defense of their fellow Black and Brown teammates often times facing harsh criticism from management and the press for being vocal allies, but where are  White female swimmers in all of this? Why haven't they spoken out in support of the BIPOC community in swimming? Why didn't they stand publicly with Simone Manuel after she was grilled for 24-minutes at her Olympic trials press conference? Allyship has consequences, and on today's show we'll be joined by Dr. Johanna Mellis, an historian, former D1 swimmer, and elite level swim coach about addressing the need for White female swimmers to challenge the way things are in swimming, and how they need to be.  #doubleedegeswordofwomensempowerment #100sofUSAswimmersweresexuallyabusedfordecades 

Tankproof : Helping Black Children Navigate Life's Currents

Saison 2 · Épisode 20

vendredi 15 octobre 2021 • Durée 25:52

When one thinks of reasons why Black children don’t swim, people say that they can’t afford lessons, and this is true somewhat, but a more practical reason involves another critical lifeskill; food. After all, if one is dealing with food scarcity swimming probably won’t be a top priority. Further, most swim programs that target underserved communities never look at this important need. Today we’ll be joined by the founders of Tankproof, Thurman and Torrance Thomas, to discuss their mission of teaching Black kids not only how to swim, but also about food insecurity and the need to make this a vital component in decreasing the drowning rates in the Black community.

Saison 2 · Épisode 19

vendredi 1 octobre 2021 • Durée 01:02:31

DC is home to The White House, The Washington Monument, and The MLK Memorial, everyone knows this, but what many don't know about is that its also home to some of the most vibrant Black aquatic programs in the country, and many were either founded or influenced by one man. Today, we'll speak to Lorn Hill, a 35-year employee of DC's Recreation and Parks, about the history of municipal pools, founding of an elite level swim club, Aqua Day Camp, and the Black History Invitational Swim Meet, which launched the careers of Olympians and college and aged-group swimmers around the country and around the world.

Rising Tide: How Black People Desegregated Beaches and Pools in South Florida

Saison 2 · Épisode 18

vendredi 17 septembre 2021 • Durée 30:55

NOTE: Apologies for the brief audio distortion. From seaweed to lost beach balls, sun-seekers bump into all sorts of surprises swimming along Florida’s iconic beaches. For Black swimmers however, there’s a complex history floating off Florida’s coastline – one of segregation and violence, but also one of protest and resistance. Diving deep into Black Florida’s fight for the right to swim, we'll speak to award winning filmmaker Cathleen Dean about the segregated beaches and pools of South Florida, and their relationship with the Civil Rights movement and the quest of water access for all.

POOL: A Celebration of Blacks in Aquatics, a Mourning of our Struggles, and Our Hope for the future.

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

vendredi 3 septembre 2021 • Durée 28:13

Access to water for fun isn’t a privilege, and learning how to swim is a basic life skill. Both were denied to Black Americans through centuries of slavery and discrimination. That legacy is the focus of a daring new exhibit: POOL: A Social History of Segregation which opens Sept. 3, at the Fairmount Water Works Interpretive Center and runs through August 2022. Today we’ll speak to the curator of the exhibit, artist and avid swimmer Victoria Prizzia, about this amazing presentation on Black achievements, struggles, and hopes for the future in aquatics.

On July 17th, at a press conference after she failed to make the 100m finals at the Olympic Trials, Simone Manuel, was grilled by journalists concerning her medical diagnosis of Overtraining syndrome.

We'll speak to scholar, author, and sports enthusiast, Dr. Letisha Brown, about the media, race, Black female athletes bodies, and the need to hold sports journalists accountable.
