Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"

Campers sent packing after first visit to swim club


NBC Philadelphia
Dymire Baylor says he overheard a woman ask, "What are all these black kids doing?" when he and his freinds showed up.

More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.

Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"

Watch VideoKids at Creative Steps Day Camp were thrilled to go swimming once a week at the Valley Swim Club. But after only one trip to the private club, they were...
"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child,'" said camper Dymire Baylor.

The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers' first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.

"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."

The next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.

"I said, 'The parents don't want the refund. They want a place for their children to swim,'" camp director Aetha Wright said.

Campers remain unsure why they're no longer welcome.

"They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything," said camper Simer Burwell.

The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded.

"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club," John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.

While the parents await an apology, the camp is scrambling to find a new place for the kids to beat the summer heat.



and you wonder why I say whites are the most racist, repeatedly.

The story is one sided. I heard an of the interview from the pool manager yesterday and safety was the main reason behind this. They onlly had one life guard. You can't add an aditional 65 kids pool and maintain a safe enviorment.

Truth will come out in the future but for right now IMO its media running without the facts and stirring up BS.

Racism at its best. This one isn't over yet.

Was it really their race, or how they behaved?

Hello!! How would you feel if you paid for a safe quit place for your children to swim, and the gate is opened to 65 unattended kids?
Unless you were there, your opinion is just that.

I wonder if the kids were true African Americans or something else. There that ought to get Suhan to tip his hand. Rumor had it someone left a floater in the pool.

And if a black kid drowned, then they would have said, "They let him drown because he was black!"

I'm sick of using the race card, in this country! A black man kills a white, it's murder, a white man kills a black it's a hate crime!!!!

Good grief~
