At every all gender swim I've been too, there is a cadre of young PoC that latch on to me when they seem me throw tricks off the diving board. And there's usually at least one other swimmer that is diving too besides me Its nice to have something in common with people. And I get to encourage little kids to be brave.
What's really nice is that they are so eager to come talk to me. They aren't scared at all, or questioning or suspicious.
That was the most lovely thing that happened today.
@kelseyhusky That fucking rocks!
