    From my experience, a lot of black people can swim. However, I do believe there is a higher proportion of non-swimming black people than whites. This does not have a physiological explanation; it's entirely cultural. White people are more likely to live in suburbs and neighborhoods that have community pools. They are also more likely to have the space and money to afford backyard swimming pools, and I think it's safe to say that they may also frequent lakes and beaches more.
