Urges recreational programs, swim schools, and swim teams to promote participation by African-American youth in swim programs.

This symbolic resolution (AR 74) urges recreational programs, swim schools, and swim teams to increase African-American youth participation in swim programs. It addresses a documented disparity where African-American children drown at rates 5-10 times higher than white children and face limited access to swimming opportunities due to historical segregation of pools. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but calls for voluntary action to combat racial stereotypes, expand access to pools in urban areas, and create future employment opportunities in swimming-related fields.
