I think that to a degree it's a regional/geographic thing as well as socioeconomic. The first time I was around large numbers of people from out of state, I was astounded by the numbers of them who couldn't swim. Turns out they all grew up in land-locked states. Simba does my theory hold?

When I was a kid, a classmate's mom was driving car pool and told us all that there are three things all people should know :

How to drive a stick
How to type
How to swim.
