How many of yall know how to swim?

[Mrl HiGrnd]

I used to be a weak af swimmer until the beginning of the summer I made it a point to practice everyday. I used to be one of those people who thougt my body type just could float or I didn't have enough fat but that was bullshyt. Now I'm just about decent, even got my backstroke fluent


I'm not into the whole idea of reaching for white peoples validation by making a point to not fit to certain stereotypes, but I urge everyone to learn or
ATLEAST push your kids/siblings to learn. Especially if you're from the West Indies like me.(we have no excuse)

Imagine what a difference it would've made after Katrina. I've had a few close calls before and had to be snagged by lifeguards.
You always read stories of black children drowning trying to save their friends/family.

Anyone have any interesting stories?

I taught myself when I was younger by practicing by the ladder at the deep end of pools. One time like 4 years I went to some lake in CT I think, and I went swimming after a ball my Lil cuz threw mad far. My dumbass kept trying to get the ball from the front and all I did was keep pushing it further.

Breh when I finally look back at the shore like I GOT IT ., I look back and I was so far I was certain I was gonna die. I was swimming back like so focused lol...but when I got back I was like
