Blacks can swim? Who knew?
Was at Parris Island in 1966 and it was time to learn how to "drown proof."
But before we jumped into the pool, our senior DI (who was black) told all his black recruits to move down to the shallow end so the instructors could weed out the "bowling balls."

Same thing on PI in ‘89, all the guys who couldn’t Swim Qual were black.
