KFF Health News correspondent Cara Anthony appeared on WAMU’s “Health Hub” segment on May 7 to share her reporting on community efforts to close a public health gap by teaching more Black Americans to swim.

It’s May, which means pool season is right around the corner. While swimming can be a great activity, Black Americans face disproportionately higher rates of drowning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 1 in 3 (36.8%) of Black adults say they don’t know how to swim, compared to 15% percent of all adults. In addition, 2 in 3 Black adults (63%) say they’ve never taken a swimming lesson.

In the bleachers, spectators whispered about the team’s presence at the pool in Centralia, Ill. — as they do at almost every competition.
