Day 10 #Julive | A Swim Cap Made For Black Hair Will Get A 2Nd Look From Swimming'S Governing B
Heyyyyy Pandi's Peeps! Thank you so much for tuning in to the #JuLIVE Challenge Announcement in collaboration with @Primping Aint Easy TV
In keeping up with what Pandi's Peeps said they would like to see from me during this challenge, here is a an update on a news story that I discussed with you all during a recent live stream.
Alice Dearing, who is slated to become the first ever Black woman to represent Great Britain in swimming at the Olympics this year, is an ambassador for Soul Cap, a swim cap made for natural Black hair.
The International Swimming Federation says it will revisit its decision barring a swimming cap designed specifically for natural Black hair from being used in competition.
The makers of the Soul Cap, a product tailor-made so that swimmers with voluminous, Afro-textured hair can protect their hair while in the water, said on Instagram last week that the sport's governing body had denied their application for certification. The decision effectively ensured that the cap would not be in use when the Olympic Games begin this month.
The news drew considerable backlash, prompting the International Swimming Federation, also known as FINA, to release a statement on Friday acknowledging the public response and announcing that it was "reviewing" the situation.
Alice Dearing, who is slated to become the first ever Black woman to represent Great Britain in swimming at the Olympics this year, is an ambassador for the cap, according to the brand's Instagram. But unless FINA reverses it decision, she will not have the option of wearing the Soul Cap during the games.
Amid the controversy, Dearing said during an interview with Sky Sports that she wants to continue to encourage young Black swimmers and does not want them to fear that competitive swimming isn't a welcoming environment for Black athletes.
"I don't want little Black boys and little Black girls to look at elite swimming and think it's not open to them, because that is completely the wrong idea," she said. "It is open to them. I'm really hopeful that, it being under review, that some agreement will come about."
She concluded, "I'm really hopeful that this story will have a happy ending, and I'm pretty sure it will."
