Where was the swim teacher when the one boy refused to hold your son's hand? She/he should have said something or moved into that spot so your son could play the game with the group.

All children are different in skin color (not all "white" kids are the same color), hair color, eye color, height, weight, athletic ability, mental ability, hyper, etc. I would talk with both of your children and explain that everyone is different from everyone else.

I'm sure you can find some good books about it at your library as well to read to the kids and adult books as well to help you explain differences to other kids.
