In my hometown THE ONLY POOL IS AT A PRIVATE CLUB. The poverty rate is enormous. Under no circumstances do black children go to the pool. It's membership ONLY. Have there still been drownings or near drownings? Yes, when the kids leave and get access to hotel pools or visit families in other areas that have access to pools.
The closest "open access" pool to my hometown is about 25 minutes away...unless the community college has one. It would be about 10 minutes away.
There's a dirty river (closed to fishing due to pesticides) about 5 minutes away.
