(CNN) -- The Pennsylvania swim club accused of discriminating against minority children over the summer has filed for bankruptcy, according to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
The club filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy Tuesday, an assistant to the court's clerk said.
The filing could affect potential settlements stemming from the June incident in which the Philadelphia-area Valley Swim Club canceled a contract for swimming privileges for about 65 children -- most of them minorities -- from the Creative Steps day care after their first visit.
