Oh, Nova, you're gonna get a lot of kneejerk reactions from well-meaning whitefolx on this one.
I am one of the examples of black kids who learned how to swim early on. I was in a Water Babies course at the YMCA when I was a kid until ear infections stopped me.
I can tell you, though, anecdotally, that I was maybe one of two black kids in a class of 30.
