Whats your excuse for not learning how to swim?

Had to this brotha today at the hamilton pool:

Place is beautiful brehs, shoutout to my texas brehs who actually go outside of their city every once in a while to experience some piff.

But anyway dude was built and probably in his mid 20's and he was with his friends and i notice none of them was wet or getting in the water and they had been there for a minute. They seen me cliff diving with the rest of the cacs and one of them get the courage to come up with me. I ask him breh? He was like "i got this bruh" and jumped in and immediately started to drown.

Im like and his friends were sitting off to the side hitting me with the . I yell "ain't none of you nikkas know how to swim?" they still looking at me like i'm a life guard. So I jump in and pull dude out of the water. Im pissed because what if i was not there? there were no one else there to save him. Im seriously thinking of starting a company to help black kids learn how to swim, imagine if black people got into the olympic swimming teams. Cacs would be furious.

my dad was a fish and ge taught me at 5. i'm a fish and my child with be swimming in dipers. believe that. best to teach them when they're young and it's familiar to them. they "swim" for nine months in utero anyway.

I wasn't sure if that "black people can't swim" thing was just a stereotype or not

its true for the most part, imo. I go out to places like this every chance i get and i don't see any black folk out there and if i do its rare that they are actually swimming. Them 5ft-6ft pools at the apt complex do not count.

To be honest, the few instances I "attempted" to learn, it was a "I'ma throw you in the water and you sink or swim." Ish had me all effed up as a little kid. Doesn't stop me from at least getting in a pool when I'm at one, but the "going underwater" part has me shook.

this is a really good idea, for racist cac infuriation purposes, doing good for the community purposes, and you might make some money too

IMO, underwater is the best part, ain't no better way to get over the fear of water than to get some goggles and start diving until you get comfortable. I learned to swim underwater first actually, i've swam down at 20ft+ deep swimming holes and lakes and seen some awesome shyt.

After swimming underwater feels natural, the rest of it just comes naturally.

Complications. Tried learning before. But I'm going to try again and this time I'm going to put more time and effort into it. Make the impossible possible.
