Well, it's at least not that cliche of being in the navy without knowing how the swim. That can't happen anymore though, it's part of basic training to know or learn.

Heh, I remember hearing that a few decades back some of the public North Carolina colleges had a swim test that everyone has to pass before they graduated (basically just proving that you could swim a bit) and apparently every year they had to teach a few people. And it's certainly never too late to learn, especially since in some ways it is a life skill.

I know! He isn't just a "guy," he's Mamoru Miyano! This made me chuckle! It would be amusing if others from Free! confessed they couldn't swim too. Ha ha, to be honest I myself can't swim either despite attending many lessons over the years. I always went nowhere or backwards.

. . . MAMORU MIYANO PLAYS PERCY?
That's the bigger thing for me lol. I don't like the character but I like the series... I think I like him a little more now that I can think of him as "played by the same actor as Masaomi Kida in Durarara!!" |

During the 1940s, nearly every US state had an education law requiring high school students to know how to swim as a requirement for graduation, unless they had some physical disability that prevented it. Many states did the same for college degrees. It was no big deal if anyone failed a swimming test. It just meant they had to take swimming for PE. Over the past 20 years or so, all of those laws have been repealed (along with PE requirements, in general). I recall reading an interview with a college administrator who said that the reason colleges lobbied for the repeal of those laws was to allow students a choice of how they got their exercise. However, the result has been that students choose not to exercise at all. |

Well, if seiyuu were supposed to have the same skills as the characters they are voicing, they'd be bloody geniuses...
But yeah, it is kinda cute. And i can sympathize with it on a personal level since i pretty much swim like a stone.
