It is all a matter of nurture and environment. I grew up in the suburbs. I learned to swim at the local YMCA.

My parents were college educated and never passed on any lies to me about the dangers of swimming.

In fact, I was taught that it was a skill I must learn in order to survive.

All of the blacks within my circle of friends knew how to swim as well.

I only give these examples to prove that there is nothing "genetic" about blacks and lack of swimming skills.

It's simply a lack of access, information, and training.
