Open Water: How Can Swimming Make Space For Everyone? | Pipe Dreams panel discussion

7 Aug 2024 7-9pm

Overview

Throughout history, Black and British Asian communities, the working classes and women have all faced different barriers to entry when it comes to swimming. What caused this, what has changed, and what role can leisure pools play in improving access and inclusivity? Hosted by Jimi Famurewa, this will be a lively, wide-ranging conversation with Jenny Landreth (author of Swell) and Olivia Smart (director of Netflix short film, Black Stroke) that dives deep into swimming suffragettes, Black British swimming collectives and more. 

Join us for a drink at the bar, and a book signing afterwards, facilitated by Rye Books.
