Because:
* Slaves being transported would throw themselves overboard to escape the terrible conditions on the boats
* During slavery/post slavery black people would be tied up and thrown into rivers/lakes to be killed
* Segregated pools
* Poor neighborhoods generally dont have recreational swimming

This basically summed it up.

Poorer neighborhoods also mean stuff like no swimming PE classes or access to anything like that.
