And 'they', like 'you' , can learn to swim. It really has nothing to do with race or skin color.
All animals know how to swim. Even humans. Only humans have the ability to believe they can't, and refuse to learn, or are not given the opportunity at an early age to do it before they 'believe' they cannot.
In all seriousness - who the hell do you think you are?
You don’t know me, have never met me, know damn near nothing about me.
AND - clearly - you know absolutely nothing of the topic.
Its a wonderful piece of crap little note you wrote. Gee - I never thought to practice.
I have lived near the water my entire life, spending months at a time - every year - at the beach. Can swim perfectly fine.
The question is whether or not some people are HEAVIER THAN WATER - which makes it about 10X harder to swim. For me - swimming in the Mediterranian, or swimming with a few lbs of bouyancy - is what everyone feels as normal.
So - yes - people can learn. I passed my half hour “floating tests” - by swimming for half an hour. Which can be a bit tiring - if you haven’t been in a pool or water for 6 months, and the test is in January.
I can imagine that some kid who didn’t spend 2 months a year at his family ocean cottage, swimming hours/day - might find those endurance tests a bit daunting. I could max out a PT, run a marathon, and near flunk out - for floating.
Just so you know - for people who sink - being tired in deep water is absolutely terrifying.
Also - just so you know - I’ve had twits like you telling me “everybody floats” all my life. No. Wrong. Not everyone has the same density. Not even close. And in fresh water - where they do these tests - forget it. Some of us are not “close to” water density - at all. I sink in salt water.
Shut your trap and read - maybe you will learn something.
