Sad how many black folk can't swim. :huhldup: Any nikka with a pool knows you don't swim solo. :snoop:



I remember we had breh in the office who couldn't swim. I'm thinking "Ninja, you know you're surrounded on three sides by the ocean, right?" but you can't tell folks shyt. :francis: Swimming lessons were free at work and still cats wouldn't take em.


This is low-key another reason why it's not too many brehs in special operations forces. :mjcry:

I am so grateful I spent hundreds of hours in the pool/ocean as a kid. I just can't imagine a world where I drown under such basic conditions.

Learning to swim or tread water is literally a 1-day activity. You can get really far with the basics. After you get comfortable, you can really start pushing yourself and purposefully putting yourself in awkward situations. I used to lay at the bottom of the pool until I felt the need to get air, then see how far I could swim underwater. Eventually go to the point to where I could do multiple laps (like 2-5) underwater even though it felt like I was close to "drowning". That doesn't even include all the stupid shyt I did in the water with my friends over the years.

If you can't swim breh/brehettes, trust me, you can learn quickly. Its easy and its a blast once you get it down.

I was thrown in a pool as a joke when I was around 11 or 12. Problem was, I couldn't swim. :francis: My father had told me in the (then recent) past that if I sank to the bottom of a pool, to relax and go straight up. When my feet hit the bottom of that pool, I legit went limp and sort of jumped with my hands above my head. I shot to the top like a bullet and was able to grab the edge of the pool. I'd be lying like hell if I said I recalled anything anyone had ever told me about swimming in that moment. I don't even think I was thinking. All I saw was blue. For whatever reason I can't explain, I didn't panic. Thing is, if I attempt to launch to the surface and don't move, I do begin to panic and that random summer afternoon would have been my last. Needless to say, my folks had me swimming like a fish two and a half months later.


My oldest started swimming lessons last year and I personally swam with her throughout this summer in our pool. All my nieces learned early and my nephews are right behind them. Not knowing how to swim past a certain age is akin to not knowing how to read. You're constantly at a handicap and even more so at the mercy of nature than we already are by default. The scariest thing about water is that even if you're a great swimmer, exhaustion can easily come into play. Like someone said, swimming alone for extended periods is a lot riskier than people think. Try to keep a float of some sort on hand at all times and/or don't swim alone. She was by herself & panicked, a human reaction and a terrible way to go. Not sure how her mother managed to watch that.

I took swimming lessons at 12 years old but haven't been in the water since then. I'm more of a fall and winter person then summer and beaches.

I hope swimming is like riding a bike...that you keep that memory no matter how long it's been.

“live-streaming” yup she was doing it for the clout… attention seeking gotta be near the top for reasons of dying/getting killed

What Kind Of Clout Was She Looking For Showing Her Friends And Family She’s Enjoying The Pool? lol If She Doesn’t Drown This Is Just Another Boring Person On Facebook

The advice given by the news personality is a very good one. No matter how strong a swimmer you are, swimming in the pool alone with no one around can be dangerous. Issues can arise that leave you in a position where you can't get to safety in time.
This.

You can know how to swim, get a massive cramp, and drown.


It's more common than people realize.
