“…I started adult swim lessons and noticed every single one of us was of colour!
BLACK PEOPLE CAN’T SWIM!!!!!
They say…”Back in 2022, artist, fashion educator and TV host Sadie Clayton, took up adult swimming lessons, sharing her progress on Instagram.
With a newfound confidence in water, Sadie debuted her 4-part podcast series Black People Can’t Swim the following year, continuing a growing and important conversation surrounding the varied relationships people of colour have with swimming.
