Afew months ago, I received a texted photo from a co-worker of a small, indoor health club pool with about 45 people in the water. They were engaged in an aquatics exercise class, and the pool looked crowded. His text said, “Funny thing is the sign on the back wall says ‘Capacity 145!’ No way this small pool can hold 145 people. Headline, ‘Kids aren’t the only ones who pee in the pool!’”Now, being a pool professional, I see this photo and shiver.

1 INTRODUCTION In 1961, President John F. Kennedy introduced the concept of affirmative action ‘to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, colour or national origin’. Today, the term affirmative action refers to the preferential recruitment or treatment of underrepresented groups (e.g., women and ethnic minorities) who have experienced systematic disadvantage (Jain et al., 2003).
