In boot camp at Paris Island for the United States Marines we had to take a full water course. I kid you not when I say there was drill instructors standing on the sides of the pools with long sticks with hooks up them. Future Marines would jump in, promptly sink, scream like little girls, and then be scooped out like they were a piece of meat. I hate to say this but they were mostly black; The inner city kids had never been swimming.
I grew up with a pool so I was good to go.
