The Swim Scandal
Coach Langford decided to write a blog post about it, where she brought the situation to the public’s attention. This new “modesty” rule was put into place in order to control young women’s bodies, and Langford believed that part of the issue at play here was Breckynn, her sister, and others’ race as well.

What She Wrote
Langford opened up on the blog post. She wrote: “As a swim coach at another school within the district that regularly competes with Dimond High, I’ve watched this scandal divide my swimming community. It has caused my own athletes to be needlessly self-conscious about the appearance of their bodies, which preoccupies them just as much, if not more, than the quality of their performances. What’s clear is that these girls’ bodies are being policed — not their uniforms.”
