"The lead researcher, Professor Richard Irwin, said one key finding was the influence of parents' attitudes and abilities. If a parent couldn't swim, as was far more likely in minority families than white families, or if the parent felt swimming was dangerous, then the child was far less likely to learn how to swim."
New study: 58 percent of black children can't swim |
This poses a problem?
Not to those it affects...
In the Wild,,,Most Species have the capability to learn. Other than Blacks as you point out.
It takes thought, coordination, and mental control...
