Where ever you live rich or poor you can run its an International and Interational, Swimming isnt.

Considering the earth is 75% water I don't really understand that statement.

Sure there arn't swimming pools and proper training coaches everywhere, but are there running tracks and proper coaches everywhere either?

It's actually more a genetic thing imo, blacks due to a higher percentage muscle than whites and more fast twitch fibres in their legs make better sprinters than whites, who with slightly higher bodyfat ratios and different body composition make for better swimmers.

I'm sure socialogical factors play a role but race and genetics are the biggest determining factors imo, although in todays politically correct world you arn't supposed to say so.
