SALVADOR, THE BLACKEST CITY AND ITS WHITEST POOLS: STUDY ON STRUCTURAL RACISM IN SWIMMING FROM THE DOCUMENTAL AND CARTOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
Salvador; Racism; Swimming.
Salvador establishes itself nationally as the blackest capital in the country and with the second largest bay in the world, being a city with a great space potential for the awakening of interest and consequently the development of water modalities, such as swimming. Public managers from 2009 to 2021 establish and develop public projects infrastructure and social issues that sought to spread the modality and reduce ills social causes caused by racism from the connection with swimming, given the importance of learning to swim in the city. Using schools as one of the main ways of association between public projects and the black population, for the democratization of modality. However, it was concluded in this work that the exclusion of the black population from swimming sports space, is established in the non-entry of the black population in spaces of pools for historical, social, economic and spatial reasons.
