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 remember hearing on public radio many years ago a story about a county whose incidents of drowning grew huge over the years. Thing was, the county had stopped requiring swimming classes in the elementary schools, and the drownings increased as the required classes ceased. The county finally recognized this and the drowning rate went down.
Do you recall how they tackled this problem? Did they add swim classes back into the school curriculum or offer more summertime learn-to-swim classes, or something else?
