Did you know 68% of South Asians cannot swim (at least 25m)? Not only that, but 78% of South Asian females identify as not being able to swim, either!
In this episode, I speak to Senior BBC journalist Summaya Mughal about her very own award winning podcast (Brown Gal Can't Swim). After interviewing Team GB swimmer Alice Deering, Summaya realised that someone needed to raise awareness of the challenges the South Asian community were facing when it came to swimming.
I speak to Summaya about how the podcast came together, her path into journalism and much more.
