        Good on them. Access to swimming areas & lessons is a direct reflection of socioeconomic & racial disparities.https://twitter.com/ABC/status/867737467381829633 …

        Your earnings has nothing to do with whether or not your child can swim. Most useless tweet I've seen all day.

        Parents need to be more responsible. That's what the YMCA is for. It's cheap and good for being part of something as well.

        Why is all the comments about blacks. I know lots of whites that can't swim. If someone don't want to swim or learn it's their choice.

        79% of Families that earn less than $50,000 can't afford the GOP Healthcare. Swimming is good exercise for good health.

        Interesting. That's almost the exact same percentage of black children born out of wedlock and, essentially, raised fatherless.
