You've seen it everywhere, in every medium imaginable; people can't swim, even when they should know, for example:
Have you seen Waterworld? If not a quick summary of the part I'm referring to: Global warming has caused the entire world to flood, leaving no land above the surface (people live off boats, floating towns and the like) and yet in it there is a young girl (I think she was like 8 or something but I have no intention of watching the movie again to check) and for some reason she can't fucking swim. In a world where one would think that it would be a useful thing to know.
This made me wonder how many people actually know how to swim, at the very least based on these forums. If you don't know how to swim, would you care to tell us why?
EDIT: You forget to punctuate your question and it won't let you fix it, leaving you on the verge of madness attempting to fix it, but to no avail.
