I lurk on a boating forum and there was a thread about idiots that can't swim going out on boats. I've never knowingly met a person that can't swim but apparently 50% of the country doesn't know how. I'm sure living in Florida the percentage is heavily skewed.
 
There are only a handful of states where you can swim in pools year round. I mean, I'm in ATL and pools here are only open for use about 3-4 months out of the year and maybe 1 out of 500 houses have one in their backyard. The only kids who are strong swimmers here use indoor pools to be on swim teams. This is one state north.

Never really thought of that.
