Outdated stereotype. And I love swimming. When I travel I have to swim especially on the beaches, I can swim waaaaay far out. In pools the deepest I swam in was 10 ft. And I'm not just Black but DARK SKINNED.

as a mixed person ill answer
black people are alot more logic driven
and there is nothing in water of use
"going for a swim" back in the day ... doesnt seem like some shyt you would hear a black person say
why the fukk would you go for a swim? Not saying black people cant swim or swimming is bad... but just the reality of it.
you would fish from the shore or collect water ... you wouldnt really need to play in water for any reason
plus if you fast forward to now ... if you live in a city, barring schools and certain pools... you have way less of a chance to go swimming for fun. In the suburbs 40%-55% of homes have a pool and you can go to a lake or beach somewhere.

Ain't a better feeling than being on a boat party then you back flip off the yacht then watch all hoes get wet. 
So if you are swimming in a lake with no height restriction you suddenly cant swim?
If you can swim in 10 ft, you can swim in anything
I'm just saying the deepest pool I swam in was 10 ft. What I am saying is that I am just aware that 10 ft is my maximum(for now). I wouldn't say I can "swim in anything." Sure I can swim to safe my life but I need more work because I run outta stamina and my swimming is not as effective. Plus it depends on the SIZE of the water. Pool=/=lake. I almost drowned in a deep as lake in DR because I didn't know how deep/big it was.So if you are swimming in a lake with no height restriction you suddenly cant swim?

I almost drowned because I got tired swimming across the lake from the area where I jumped from the rope from.

I was swimming in Olympic sized pools when I was teen. I don't even remember who taught me, it came so natural to me. I was doggy paddling for a few minutes then I was swimming 15ft to touch the bottom of the pool
