The only people that I ever met in the Navy that did not know how to swim were blacks.

What????? I don’t know how to swim and I’m not black. Geeze.
that doesn’t make his statement incorrect....I am white and I cannot swim, my three kids are qualified lifeguards. I do know however, that by and large, black people can’t swim. I don’t know why, I just know that most black people I know can’t swim.
I am always curious about people who haven’t learned to swim.
Why can’t you swim? Is it because you didn’t have the opportunity to take lessons? Why don’t you learn now?
( In my case, my parents taught me to swim at about age 5.)
