My mother and I were just joking about this the other day. I was saying that I see cultural differences between black and white Americans with regard to camping and swimming. I never really hear of many black people (including myself) going camping for the weekend or going to the beach. The last time I entered a swimming pool was nearly three years ago. For me, it’s not so much that I’m scared of water, but I just hate the feeling afterward – dry, itchy and cold. And I have had a few bad experiences while swimming. When I was younger my parents had enrolled me in a swim class, and on the first day I ran out of the pool bawling. Years later I almost drowned while visiting my dad, and again in my eighth-grade swim class, so you can say swimming is my least favorite hobby. I still would like to learn because it really is a necessity. But I’m only speaking for myself. My nephews absolutely love to swim. You’d think they were fish. And many of my younger cousins do also, so I’m not sure of what to say on this one. Maybe the boat ride over (Africa to America) has something to do with it (just kidding).
