Today's WTF?! story is brought to us by Philadelphia. Seems a North Philadelphia day camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club, a private club, which, ironically, advertises open membership, so that 60 of its day campers could use the pool... Not so fast there North Philly...
"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."
Well what a nice refreshing dip in the race pool...
"The next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded. ...'There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,' John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement...."
Awww sorry John, you were so close but you choked on the punch line...jackass....
What a disapointed potential swimmer looks like
