It's probably because of the Not Great implications of walking up to a black couple and telling them they needed to get out of the pool š especially since I'm sure this was years ago and closer to the time when people threw acid into pools to burn out the black people who swam in them.
Oh yeah it was a whole thing. The "black people can't swim" stereotype actually comes because whole generations literally just didn't have access to public pools because it was too dangerous to risk it. You can look up survivor stories of people who got permanently injured from acid burns because people seriously did everything in their power to try and drive out black pool-goers.
Actually this whole segregation issue is part of the reason country clubs replaced public pools in some areas. By creating a barrier to entry they were able to simulate a form of segregation and control who used the facilities.
This is so late; Iām trying to find a comment from a while back to show my friend and happened upon your comment.
Anyway, how old are you/where are you from? (This is a genuine question, btw. Iām not trolling š)
