I dont understand people who don't know how to swim...

It's like a basic natural human reaction like breathing

Leoss and tdk are landlubbers and I have a suspicion that bush is too


landlubber
According to this thread, the word "landlubber" can be used (mainly by older people) as slang for someone who can't swim, and "the Rock Squad" is US military slang for such people.

I was a lifeguard in Jr. High. Could swim over 200 yards under water. Learned how to make a life preserver out of my pants.

Some parents lack the resources or ability to teach their kids such, then when those kids grow up they most likely never bother with it.

It’s really strange but there’s a disproportionate amount of Filipino people out here who can’t swim. Despite being from another pacific island, it doesn’t seem prevalent in the culture for some reason

I can swim very well, but I actually did learn to swim later than most kids.

Just a resource and opportunity/relevance thing.

I'm not coming in last place in the next AG swim race but I'm definitely not coming in first either.

I'd guess Hawks would win that race.

I don't know how to float. I'm not fat or anything but my butt just sinks down. My mother could lay out like Jesus on a cross and just somehow be buoyant. :roll:

I've always been able to just lay on my back and float. Not sure how or why.
You never liked me, probably don't like me still, but a ***** liking me aint never paid my bills

Hurt bro. I’d dust every at a 50 free and probably the 800 as well, though shill from his biking might have some pretty good cardio

What I don't understand is that people who have no Idea how to swim go out on a boat, without a life jacket.

I think my cardio was best when I was surfing as well as the biking, but I’m no speedster in the water.
