Study: More than half of black and Latino kids can't swim
"A survey by the governing body of competitive swimming finds that nearly 60% of black and Latino children cannot swim. By comparison, about a third of white children cannot swim."
Hmmm, I'm surprised by the statistic regarding Latino children. I knew most black folks don't like the water or swimming, at least from my experience. But, I would have never thought that about Latino children. Most of their homelands have beautiful beaches, no? I guess I shouldn't make assumptions.

Yeah I actually never looked into this before, but the article is kind of interesting.
