hi all, I'm writing from Italy. Hope not to be politically incorrect, you know, sometimes one uses wrong expressions which may be offensive without knowing it - English is not my language. --- My question: has someone understood why there are no black swimmers at the top of the world rankings? is there a physiologic reason? Thank you Antonio

    I'm black and I've always wanted to learn how to swim but didn't have access to a pool and having relaxed hair most of my life any time in the pool could damage my hair. No one in my family knows how to swim but me. I didn't learn to swim till I hit my 30s and I've done several swim meets and do triathlons almost every month.
