I had too much hair to get under a swim cap.

I can float!! LOL, I never learned to keep my head out of water and use my arms. I can only swim if my head is under water, which means I do not last very long.
Oh and swim caps do not keep your hair dry.

Yes, but I don't swim anymore because I'm afraid of hair damage. My parents had a swimming pool, in-ground, put in our house in 1968. We were somewhat popular when growing up.

I CAN'T float for some reason w/out moving. My body automatically sinks. One of my grandmothers CLAIM that many blacks can't float because of certain fat distribution or something like that. Dunno if I believe that or not.

I kick while floating. Hell maybe I am doggy paddling.

I can swim, but I won't stray too far in the deep.

I can't swim and I really don't want to learn how. I don't mind just sitting and chilling in the water but that is about it.

LOL
Aren't yall scared that you all may find in yourselves water INVOLUNTARILY one day?
A few years ago at leadership retreat me and some people in my cabin and near by cabins took a pontoon boat out on the lake (a very large and deep lake too). I think only 2 out of 12 of us could swim. Well whaddya know it was too many people on the boat including one guy who was probably 400 pounds and the boat started sinking after we were about 120 yards off shore. Man, they started screaming and praying and panicing. Fortunately, we got help before it was too late. And, when we got back on shore some them started shouting and I think one person cussed out lifegaurd for allowing that many people on the boat. Honestly, I found the whole thing hi-lari-ous. But, if we didn't get rescued in time, there would've been some people in deep.....water
