Because primates, which originated in Central Africa, are designed to climb trees...
No other primates except humans can swim. Bi-pedal homonins only encountered large bodies of water, when we migrated to the coastlines...
Freshwater lakes in Africa, are filled with crocodiles...

Other beings learn through instinct at a very early age, some of which will spend their life in water! Man learns to swim after mastering walking, which he will do all of his days on earth. Humans have no fins.

It's nothing but inertia and a kind of lethargy that springs from the mind, mindset! Man does not learn swimming actually, he takes refresher lessons of a skill that he is born with, 'unknowingly'!

I've seen birthing in pools. Seems to me like newborns swim and hold their breath fine. For newborns of course. All depends on how much you retain in memory.

Good cop, bad cop?... Too hung up on how we appear to others. Their instincts are more finely tuned in their environment w/out distractions,: we live in warpdom!
