This sounds like the beginning of a racial stereotype thread but it's true!

Circa 2010

Maude Warner lived that agony this week when what was supposed to be a fun family outing devolved into tragedy. She, her kids, and some friends were picnicking on the bank of the Red River near their home in Shreveport, Louisiana. One of her sons, 15-year-old DeKendrix Warner, who could not swim, was playing in the shallows when he accidentally stepped off a submerged ledge into the deep. DeKendrix survived, but not before six of his siblings and friends drowned while trying to save him. Maude Warner lost three of her children that day: a 13-year-old daughter, and 14- and 17-year-old sons. Three of their friends also perished, brothers who were 18, 17, and 15 years old.
None of them could swim.

not joking it's not a stereo type, just a fact, I work in a industry that involves swimming and some one told me a stat they heard from USA swimming saying the percentage of minorities that can't swim to be between 90-95% and I would believe it.

You'd be surprised how many people don't know how to swim. You have to be around water to know how to swim. Brothers in Caribbeans probably the best swimmers in the world. So its more of exposure to water than anything.

I can't dunk, and have no rhythm.
