#19 'Swimming isn't made for us'

Ok so obviously we can't go swimming right now (thanks a lot Covid-19), but we've recorded an amazing conversation on the topic anyway. We got to speak to two ex-competitive swimmers, Seren Jones and Sharna Piercy, about the barriers that stop many black women from getting involved in the sport. Seren is also a BBC journalist and her radio documentary 'Black girls don't swim' went out on the World Service last year - you can listen to it here.This episode was produced by the VENT production team: Jess Lawson, Arlie Adlington, Emilia Gill and Moeed Majeed.
