I remember going to that pool

How could my great uncle Oscar Taylor was not mentioned. He taught most of the blacks how to swim. He would swim across the Potomac River to Maryland and back. He taught me how to swim by picking me up and throwing me into the pool.

I enjoyed this fun and informative piece of the city’s history. The personal reminiscences and old photographs really brought the article to life. Just a wonderful piece!
