I was sort of with you on the ocean stuff, swimming there isn't really a substitute for a lifejacket, but swimming being for the privileged is a weird take.

If you don't have access to a body of water for free, then public pools are usually cheaper than a movie ticket. You don't need any equipment, all you need is one person that kinda half way knows how to swim and is willing to point you in the right direction.
