It’s a bit of a class thing since you need to either have physical access to a swimmable body of water or have economic access to a pool and then have the free time to either teach your kids yourself or the money and free time to drop them off at swim lessons.
In the US, black Americans are the most likely to not know how to swim and poor Americans in general are more likely to not know how.
I can’t see how it’s a class thing, like you can live by water without it being beachfront property. Plenty of poor people live by the water all over the world and in the US. I guess I just don’t understand, but I thank you for trying to explain
i live in a dry place, there ain’t swimming depth bodies of water that aren’t artificial, and you’ve got to pay to swim at most of them. our rivers are pathetic and an adult would be hard pressed to drown in one so it’s also mostly useless to learn unless it’s for recreation
