Red Cross quickly apologized and said they would stop production

Tweeter called the organisation out for the 'super racist' message

The poster was seen in two swimming pools in Colorado

A Red Cross sign designed to teach children how to behave in a swimming pool has instead been blasted for being 'super racist'.

The poster - entitled 'Be Cool, Follow the Rules' - was spotted in two pools in Colorado and showed children playing in a pool with signs pointing to the 'cool' and 'not cool' children, indicating who were acting correctly.

But the majority of the 'not cool' kids were black, causing one bemused tweeter to open a dialogue with the organisation about what message they were trying to send out.

One angry tweeter called out the Red Cross about the poster which suggested that only the black children were 'un cool'

The hospital quickly responded and thanked Sawyer for bringing it to their attention

John Sawyer wrote: 'Hey, Red Cross, send a new pool poster to @SalidaRec bc the current one they have w your name on it is super racist'

Red Cross quickly responded to the tweet writing: 'Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're removing this from our site immediately & are creating new materials.'

The organization have since removed the poster from their website and have discontinued its production.

The hospital also released statement to NBC saying it 'deeply apologized' for offending anyone and added that it was 'committed to diversity'.

And continued: 'Going forward, we are developing more appropriate materials that are more representative of our workforce and the communities we serve.

Margarat Sawyer (left) who took the photo of the poster, is still not happy. She said: 'I hope the Red Cross will use this as a lesson for taking their role seriously.'

'Our aquatic instructors have been notified of these concerns and we will advocate that our aquatic partner facilities remove the poster until revised materials are available.'

But Margarat Sawyer - John's sister - who took the photo of the poster, is still not happy.

She told the site: 'I'm just a citizen, I'm not an organization, but I would want the Red Cross to collaborate and build relationships with Black Kids Swim and other organizations that do advocacy around this so that this doesn't happen again.'

Sawyer, a mother of two, had seen the poster twice while on holiday with her family in Colorado.

She added: 'I think it's really important to think about the messages that we're sending kids, I ask for all of us to take that job on.

'I hope the Red Cross will use this as a lesson for taking their role seriously.'

She is now sending a formal letter to the hospital and to the mayors of both cities, Salida and Fort Morgan, to demand that they be taken down there and at pools nationwide.
