I was trained to swim under them, pull them under water and grab them there, under the arms and around the neck so they can not grab you. Return to the surface and swim them back to safety. We had to do this in a matter of seconds.

I have a serious question...AND NO IT’S NOT A RACIST ONE. But...this family was black...why is it that historically most blacks can’t swim well and they tend to drown the most? Is there a specific reason for this? Is it a city thing? No pools so they never learn?
