Also, literally every long gun they find in Miami SWAT is an "AK-47, a weapon of war"

Was it a black guy? They just usually don't float as well as whites or asians. I was a swim coach for almost 8 years and of all the black kids I coached only a handful could successfully do floating drills, and it wasn't from a lack of poor technique in most cases. I had very limited experience coaching hispanics, so I can't speak for their floatability.

Its Miami, shit will be underwater in a couple of years

>that pic
Why is that entire swat team hispanic?>>34655133
>ability to float
Unless blacks have special bodies that defy fiziks n shiiet, stop excusing lack of impulse control and an aversion to water on 'ability to float'

Are you saying every race of human is genetically identical?

>>34655133
It was indeed an individual with dark pigmentation.

>>34655204
Are you saying that black people have fundamentally different bodies from whites and that it's not just an aversion to water stemming from a primal fear of drowning?

>>34655080
It's really a shit show. I tuned in for about 10 minutes too long.

>>34655402
Yes, I am. For almost every single kid laying motionless on their back in the water, their torso would float while their legs sank like anchors.

>>34655402
Yes, fast twitch muscle fibers and a resulting higher muscle to fat ratio, on average. This has been studied to death.

It also has jack shit to do with /k/.

Read the abstract you fucking nigger. This talks about how blacks are more predisposed to obesity. Elite swimmers have minimal body fat%. Stop making excuses.

>>34655447
Believe me when I say I have trained more people to swim than you. In both survival and life guarding situations. The most important thing you have related to bouyancy isn't your body fat or any other indescribable trait which you are failing to pinpoint. It's your lungs dumbass. You can tread water for an hour simply buy keeping your lungs inflated. Jesus you're dense.

>>34655553
I believe you, can I suck your dick now?

>>34655160

Small and skinny people have a harder time floating

>stop trying to discredit my racist beliefs

>>34655553
lol are we supposed to be impressed that you're a lifeguard and swim instructor?

>>34655553
>blacks are more predisposed to obesity

Only with inactivity, you ignorant boor, which is not the case with SWAT applicants. Their higher ratio of fast twitch muscle fiber screws them over during long periods of inactivity due to it's high anaerobic specialization.

>>34655402
Bone density dude. It's a legit thing.

They're not, some are white guys. It's Miami, sunny all the time.

>>34655160
The topheavyness that makes black peoples good at running conversely makes them shitty at swimming

Is this just for weeding out people with poor stamina? If not, what purpose does urban SWAT have with treading water?
