I hate when people say this shit. Humans are land animals we arent born swimming. If you are born on a island then it probably comes more natural because you are frequently in the water.

Funny story...I grew up in the projects in my town when I was younger. I guess as community out reach, we used to get bused to the old plantations for summer. We go and learn about how the slaves lived, get boat rides on the water in old boats in gator waters and what not.
Anyway, they had a pool there. I was from new York and where i lived in the Bronx. Wasn't no pools in the bronx. But all my friends from the hood in charleston knew how to swim. Wasn't no pools in our projects so I thought swimming was just so natural shit you knew how to do.
So I took a running head start and cannonballed into the deep end.
:clawd: Sunk straight to the bottom and damn near drowned

when it isnt nurtured. swimming is a survival skill n its good to have. tons of the planet is water.
Even humans are taught how to walk. I just thought it was something every person was taught how to do at a young age.

Find a local pool and learn. The statistics are crazy when it comes to us and drowning.

The attached article is pretty good but I read somewhere that pools were segregated up until the late 70's early 80's in some places.
