Re: the kids in Philly who were forced to leave a swim club in what appears to be a violation of section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act, if you'd like to condemn the Valley Swim Club's actions and encourage the Department of Justice to consider suing them for a violation of Federal law, go here to do so.

I seem to recall the section cited had to do with employment, not letting people into the club as members.

I've been really busy and haven't had time to track it down, but the contract provisions may well be enough. Employment doesn't seem to be an issue here, since they don't appear to have employees involved, but contract provisions might be a foundation for a case.
