TSC S2 Ep. 3- Gun Policy, Over Policing, and Swimming

Author: The Swim Culture Podcast August 9, 2022 Duration: 23:55

It's so important for us to be able to live, work, and have fun in our own communities, but often times Black people feel over policed and under resourced in their own communities. How has gun control policy, education, and the economy impacted our experience in recreation? Coach Adrienne and Dr. Asherah share their experiences of what impact this has had on them and in swimming. Let's talk about it!


Dive into the deep end of conversation with The Swim Culture, hosted by Dr. Asherah Allen and Coach Adrienne Lakate. This isn't just a show about technique or competition; it's a thoughtful exploration of water's profound role within the Black community. Each episode flows through discussions on current events, historical context, and personal narratives connected to aquatics, from swimming pools and ocean access to competitive sports and recreational safety. Allen and Lakate foster a genuine, safe space where the ripples of culture, identity, and policy are examined with both expertise and heart. You'll hear nuanced conversations that go beyond the surface, addressing barriers, celebrating achievements, and unpacking the complex relationship a community can have with water. Tune into this podcast for a unique blend of sports commentary and cultural analysis, where every topic is anchored in the lived experiences of Black people. It’s a necessary listen for anyone interested in the intersection of sport, society, and equity, offering perspectives often left out of the mainstream aquatic dialogue.
