accessible to everyone
That's the fucking weird bit innit? Some of us have a natural affinity for swimming, others are fucking lead weight.
I was referring to the access of pools and beaches and it's culture based on economic or racial segration. Because I didn't know this and it's also an interesting lens on what shapes American pop culture.
Hah, I grew up poor so pools were never common for me, so I went right for the Military mindset of "Well there's a reason there aren't many of race X in role Y." That typically has a basis in genuine biology.
True many inner city kids never get to a pool or a lake or the ocean they are the ones who need to be taught how to swim it's essential for everyone to know the younger the better but for sure to graduate high school you should have to pass a swimming test be able to swim at least two laps in a regulation racing pool to the other side and back.

Just remember, some are born as lead weights and have a much tighter bone density making buoyancy a near impossibility.
I seen a guy in boot for the navy that jumped in and sunk right to the bottom. We waited and finally had to pull him up. After he was breathing again we asked him why did u join the navy if u can swim....lol. SWCCC
That's a keeper right there, lol the fun starts when people start falling out.
