Says his friends didn’t know he couldn’t swim but isn’t safe to assume he can’t swim him being a darkie? Thought hardly any of them could swim?
I was first exposed to this when I went to 4H camp as a kid on east LI.
All the kids were from LI except 2 kids from Brooklyn who got to go there for free.
Real culture shock for us and them, but as kids do we befriended them a bit but they were really out of this world.
One kid was freaking jacked and spoke with a speech impediment. It was like Mike Tyson’s long lost son.
Every day we had swimming lessons in the ocean and it was really fun.
I had never seen kids who were level 1 swimmers as just knew middle class and rich kids.
I’d glance over at the level 1 swimmers and they started at just their ankles I think; it was in the late 80’s so I forget exactly what they had them doing. Maybe getting their faces wet next.
To see Tyson Jr so scared was really interesting.
