No idea, I've never been to a pool.
I can do all of those.
Lived by a river and close to a coast though.
I thought whales were good at swimming
A pool length is around 20 meters, should be pretty easy.
I learned all of this at school. If you can't swim you die here. "Refugees" are drowning because they can't swim.
>How many of these basic skills can you do Sup Forums?
none, as far as i know
last time i was in water deep enough to do any of that i was like 6 years old
How the fuck can you not know how to swim AT ALL
What the fuck? Are you all waiting for a grim reminder when a colossal tidal wave sinks your entire country?
We have water everywhere. And you will one day fall into it. And you will die if you can't swim.
>fat basically floats by itself
>Americans STILL drown
As an Australian, I can't even really comprehend how a healthy adult person couldn't manage to do those things, even though I know that we constantly lose tourists in the surf because they can't.
mfw my first job was a lifeguard. You must be taking about Americans who are minorities.
Good when the polar ice caps melt 50% population reduction.
I can't swim. crocs everywhere.
>americans can't swim for one pool length
Vast majority of people here can swim for at least 200m (about 220yd), most for at least a mile with some practice.
>>treading in water for 1 minute
Yes
>>jumping in deep water and coming up for air
Yes ofc
>>turning around in water and finding a way out
Yes
>>getting of a pool without a ladder
I only swam in the nile
>>swimming one pool length without stopping.
I swam across the nile once (600 m wide in the place where we lived)
All of them
>mfw americans sink theyre so dense
What the fuck, I don't know anyone who can't swim
>0/5
>niggers
None, despite having to go to pools many times as part of elementary school.
Are you talking about the refugee girl that drowned because no teacher or classmates paid attention to her? i mean i hate rapefugees as much as the next person but that story was messed up
I can do all of them apart from the getting out of pool without ladder due to disability.
In the Netherlands we have problem with drowning Poles who think they can swim.
Usually while drunk on our beaches. Or in a strong river.
How the fuck did the driver get out of the rightmost car?
How do sober healthy people manage to drown?
You just hold your breath and you'll naturally float. I could see a disabled person or intoxicated person having problems though.
>disabled person
so you're saying half of the US is just disabled? that would explain a lot
There was also an other one who went swimming in Zeeland but forgot he couldn't swim. There are many such cases. Sad!
Not him, but a Somalian drowned in my village three weeks ago as well.
>disabled pperson having problems
>today.com
yes, they evidently do
>so you're saying half of the US is just disabled?
I meant paralyzed, but if you can't float then I guess you could make that argument.
I'm pretty sure over half of the US is disabled actually. Mentally, that is.
You probably shouldn't decide to live in Water: The Country if you cannot swim. Or you should, I don't know, learn to swim.
Some people overestimate their swimming ability.
I'm not him, but if an area of the river for example has a deeper passage. Then the currents will flow at different speeds and different temperatures. So people can get cramps then if they go from one stream into the next.
That's common sense here.

Another one. Looks like she could almost swim, but ends having to be rescued.
Or she just wanted the banana.
this is just a trick by blacks to get "rescued" by white woman lifeguard so they can cope a feel
Americans don't have swimming classes at school?
I'm really good at swimming
Sweden have mandatory swimming classes between 3rdth and 5th class.
Also training in case you fall into a frozen lake/river.
She's trying to swim like a doggy but only with her arms.
All of them ezpz
Boat or passengers seat
this type of parking spot is very common in historical city centers. you get used to it, but it's pretty scary parking there the first few times
blacks think swimming is like everything else, they'd be good at it if they did it, they just haven't swam before and don't know how much practice it takes
but
>if you fall when you're
walking, you get up
running, you get up
riding a bike, you get up
swimming, you drown
Americans are not the only ones.
On a bike you
>break with the front wheel
>do a salto
>get up
We have mandatory swimming in middle school. You're looked down upon if you don't know how to swim. Most young people love spending time in the summer at the pool. So probably most of the country knows how to swim
>swimming one pool length without stopping.
Other than Michael Flops no Americans would survive that kind of exercise
We don't have it either, but very few people can't swim and they are mostly old.
