Maybe blacks are braver and will try to swim when not trained. Maybe they are richer and have more home pools. The statistic is useless without more information.

I, also, was interested in other information, such as where these drownings occurred. Low water crossings? The ocean? Bathtubs?

The article specifically said swimming pools. I am just guessing here that the majority of black swimming pool drownings are in public pools, so don't they have lifeguards?
