nikkas are straight scared of water. I remember a news story where like 6 or 7 people drowned because they couldn't swim but tried to save their family members. shyt is easy.

How did we not learn how to swim?

WE WEREN'T TAUGHT MOTHAfukkA!!!

i mean how were you not brought into a situation where you weren't taught?

i learned how to swim in a pissy pool at the local YMCA with homeless people passed out on the pool deck.

what happened when people had pool parties at their apt complex (or house ) back in the day? what about when broads invited you to the local pool in the summer?

Look at this shyt man
Six teens drown in Louisiana river - US news - Life - msnbc.com

This is sad as fukk. All it would have taken is a couple days to learn how to swim to avoid this.

It is, if you can't swim they give you classes and teach you how to do this modified backstroke just to pass the test. I failed the test like 19 times, most of them was failed on purpose because that was the only time I got to see the girls In bikinis. I'd say like the last 5 were honest attempts but I forgot that shyt right after I passed the test. I'm comfortable in water, even deep water to a certain extent but don't look for me to save no lives
