Episode notes

The long-awaiting Aquatics Episode is finally here! After much hand wringing and consternation, hosts jarrett hill and Tre’vell Anderson have FINALLY taken the plunge! Dive with them into the deep end as they take their very first swim lessons in beautiful Baldwin Hills. To prepare them for the big day, they speak with Paulana Lamonier, the founder of Black People Will Swim, and get some insight on what Paulana calls, “the only sport that can save your life.” And later, Founder of Legacy Aquatics and swim instructor, Jordan Hunter, works to help our hosts build a proper swimming foundation: breathing, kicking and floating. Will he make swimmers out of them? Find out!

About the show

Sometimes the people, places, and things we love don’t love us back. We’re fans, but we also have some ANTI- feelings toward them. Every week on FANTI, journalists Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring their pop culture and political expertise to things we must stan and stand up against. FANTI is a place where nuance reigns supreme with energetic, complicated, and sometimes difficult conversations that bring deep knowledge and thoughtful perspective to the things we love and rage about, from the White House to the Real House(wives).
