Quick search tells me that apparently apes and humans don't have the innate ability to swim, you need to teach them first. If you skipped out on swimming classes when you were a kid, and even worse, you havent been to any body of water bigger than a tub, you're gonna have a problem.

"It's extremely important to note that while babies can imitate swimming motions and reflexes, they are not yet physically capable of swimming."

From an evolutionary standpoint it makes perfect sense that infants have the innate ability to alter their physiology to lower the risk of themselves getting hurt or damaged when submerged; if we're talking about actually being able to swim then, no infants can't swim because they are physically incapable of achieving that task with their inadequate body.

If we're talking about humans having an instinctual ability to survive in water, then yeah, it's pretty stupid for any mammal to not have this.

I agree with you but there's no real black and white answer to this.

That's retarded.
Anyone who doesn't know how to swim is going to panic and sink in a second if thrown into water.

OP you live surrounded by air and still can't fly. Are you retarded or something?

>>145707226
This is bullshit
The most important thing to keep floating while swimming is keeping your lungs full of air, people who just jump in the water(if they never swam before) panic a bit, which causes them gasp in exasperation and lose air, which makes them sink.
Another thing is flexibility, which is required if you dont want to stay at one place and actually swim.
I started learning swimming when I was 19(mainly because someone said I'll see lots of bouncing titties and ass there, amd he was right), and I saw many kids having no problem swimming and even diving, and older people having difficulty moving their hands and legs together.
This is natural because kids are innately flexible and if hence if somebody starts learning swimming at an early age, he/she'll learn faster than if they started late

This is infamous for being a deceptively fatal situation if you don't know how to get out of it, thanks to the water pressure holding the doors shut. You might have two or three deaths right there.

Large amounts of water can be very dangerous.

>>145703194
If someone doesn't consider beach episodes a necessary addition to their life, there isn't much reason and opportunity to learn how to swim, unless there are some mandatory swimming classes in schools. And even with those you probably won't learn much if you don't swim on your own.

I sincerely hope OP is just baiting and that no one would drop a wonderful show like Amanchu for such a mundane observation.

>>145712947

Also, here's something that you don't consider: If you're in the water, and you get a cramp, you might not even be able to call for help, thanks to the fact that you're unable to keep your head above water. When you take scuba diving lessons, keeping a close eye out for people who are struggling and aren't able to speak as a result is one of the things that they instruct you on.

Basically, the point is that you don't need to be a retard in order to find yourself drowning. Anyone who claims otherwise doesn't really respect the kinds of situations that water can put you in.

I live on an island in Greece and not knowing how to swim is the equivalent of not knowing how to breathe, I seriously don't understand Japan.

If you can't pass that you don't pass PE.

The vast majority of Japan chooses to live in over urbanized hellholes that they never actually leave. Combine that with their school probably doesn't have mandatory swimming (which a lot don't these days) it's not surprising.
The average jap goes to the countryside maybe a couple times in their lives to see a funeral, and the cliche of middle aged ladies going to Okinawa doesn't apply to the high schoolers in the trash anime /a/ typically watches.
