Anyone who has ever been in the military has seen this situation or one like it before, DOZENS of times. Sorry people, this stereotype is true--black people ARE kinda scared of water.
@mustafar75 It's not genetic you doofus. I'm a white redneck that was in the Army for 4 years The blacks that had access to swimming lessons and pools while kids could swim. The blacks that were from "the hood" couldn't swim. It's about access and exposure to swimming lessons.
@dirty654321 Yes. This is what was called "Drown Proofing" back when I was in way back in the 1980's. They separate the swimmers from non-swimmers with the test you see in the video. Then there are classes on how to make flotation devices out of your clothing, and the dead man's float technique. After that the swimmers play, and non-swimmers get a swimming class. I got to swim to the bottom and retrieve the fake rifle with a couple of other swimmers. Fun day.
@dirty654321 Don't recall exactly, it was over an hour at least but this was just an introductory. The base pool had adult swim classes for anyone interested and this was highly encouraged to the non swimmers.
@iamnotahumanbeing69 its just when i went to marine corp boot camp in 2009, most of the people who were failing were black dudes...and they were all on the shallow end trying to practice before they go to the deep end... XD
@NInjaEmoPandaDanii Think you need to check your spelling of the word SWIM....it"s not spelled SWIMM....and as for your ability to swim...i highly doubt it.
@lilphear imnot being racist or anything but swimming has been a sport that doesnt have much to do with the common activities of black ppl. In the istory of America,white ppl usually had more money up to a certain point,so they were the ones who cud afford to join a swim team, train as a swimmer, and belong to a swim club or whatever. Its like how a lot of Africans right now r prbly more athletic than most Americans (even tho theyre not healthy) bcuz they are always working and moving. Evolution
@EvShlom and im talking bout natural selection & survivial of the fittest resulting in most successfulyl surviving ppl in Africa right now being the ones who work hard and are the strongest. In America, there are prbly more slow ppl bcuz there are more jobs that dont require athleticism and strength...plus a lot of us are jobless bums
@EvShlom what does money and swimming have to do with each other? You do know native South Americans created the Breastroke, and were exceptional swimmers. as are White people obviously. You really don't know what your talking about unfortunately.
@jumar1281 eh, kinda. you don't get actual swim lessons, but they'd take the recruits(USMC boot camp) to the shallow end and teach them how to float and doggy paddle...stuff like that. just to get them to pass swim qual 4.
Most people misinterperet (Sorry about the spelling) the trem courage. To do what he did there took alot of courage. Nothing shows more bravery than facing your own fears.
When I went through USMC boot, for some reason the black guys from the urban areas ALL were scared shitless of the water. The black guys from the country would laugh and tease them. EITHER WAY, they ALL went in the pool and they ALL passed the different swim quals we had.
I'm not being racist or what but when I was in ngyca (National guard youth challenge academy) one of my black friend was scared to swim in the beach shore so he had to wear a life coat Lmao
dang if i was ever drowning i would hope for a different lifegaurd cause she took forever to get to him them had the nerve to yell at him when he paniced.
@TheAnthery explains why the lifeguard is black and there is a black on the US olympic swim team. I know you tried to sound smart, but you failed miserably melanin in no way shape or form adds density to your body. That is like saying white blood cells can make you run slower if you have too much.
If you think this was the worst attempt you should see some of the attempts from Naval boot camp, some people jumped in and just sank, didn't even move or anything just stayed stiff and sank.
Fuck this, plenty of Blacks can swim, and plenty of Whites also just flop like retards. If you've instructed in the correct technique, anyone can, regardless of race or body type. Dunking a basketball on the other hand...
@tehdioshow lol probably closer to 40-60. but still, have you ever tried swimming with all your cloths on? Not easy to do, and he was scared which made it all the worse for him.
Gotta like the guys encouragement at the end, "Believe it or not, you were swimming!"
When is the last time the army conducted operations in water, this is just "horse play" little or no practical use. Spend more time doing combat tactics, discipline.
@oldarmywar This is true. The biggest problem is that he was probably given for shit training before this fiasco. Much better if he was actually given swimming lessons before he had to do this, which I doubt anyone gave him.
@DARR0Y I am also enlisting in the navy, this upcoming year, I love to swim! but I am from Las Vegas, a desert with little water, I'm lucky to get swimming a few times a year. I would say the dog paddle is step one of swiming. Lol good luck mate...
Grab it grab it. STOP GRABBING ME! lol, she confused the crap out of that guy. If she didn't want him grabbing her she shouldn't have swam up to him and just threw him the floaty. What did she need the float for anyway.
Swimming with all that gear is another. Im a airman in the Coast Guard and had to pass my 75 yards and tred water for 2 minutes with full flight gear which includes, flight suit, helmet, boots and weighted vest. Its not easy. Not being confident and having a fear of water juast adds to it.... He'll get it.
So that lifeguard is a complete idiot if he or she knew how to properly save someone and they are grabbing onto you push them away and swim around them to get behind, you NEVER tell them to stop grabbing me. IDIOT!!!
at least he tryed during our zodiac training we had 3 guys refuse 2 get in the river funny isnt it there willing to take a bullet 4 their country but are afraid of a little water
Interestingly enough, there is a genetic reason why black can't swim as well as whites or asians, it's because the skin of black people is more dense, do to the much higher amounts of melanin.
Anyone who has ever been in the military has seen this situation or one like it before, DOZENS of times. Sorry people, this stereotype is true--black people ARE kinda scared of water.
