The Creative Steps summer camp paid the club $1950.00 for the weekly swim time.</p> <p>65 children, mostly Black and Hispanic, made their first trip to the pool on June 29, 2009. Some of the kids reported hearing racist remarks about why black kids were there, and concerns about them stealing while at the pool. The Huntingdon Valley Swim Club is predominantly white and some parents reportedly pulled their children out of the pool when the campers arrived.</p> <p>The Club cancelled the children’s summer membership and returned the fee. The director of the Club explained that concerns over the number of children, their safety and noise factor was the reason for revoking their membership. </p>
