  • Resumen

  • Because of Jim Crow laws, Darrin Evans' father - an Army Drill Sargeant - was never allowed to go to a public pool. Yet, he taught himself to swim in the river and insisted that his children also learn to swim. He considered it a survival skill. Statistics show that if a parent doesn't know how to swim, the chances are very high that their children will never learn. That's significant because of the 3,500 annual drownings in the U.S., half of those who died never intended to be in any body of water. Basic water safety training could have saved their lives. Darrin is passionate about swimming. He's also passionate about preserving history within its proper context. Stop by and listen to a ranging conversation that will cause you at times to think deeply and other times to laugh heartily.
