Define the level of apocalypse..

Do you mean like evil acts of others? I wear personal self defense, fingers crossed I never need to use it.

Or like a flood or volcano eruption or something? Welp, guess I'm fucked too, I can't swim in water or lava. ☹️💀

Swimming is a great life skill that everyone, even older people should learn. Considering 97% of the earth is water. It's not if you will be in a large body of water, it is when.

The percentage is off (~70%), but I agree that swimming is something that everyone should learn.

The mixup / other percentage might have been here:

The ocean covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet. It's hard to imagine, but about 97 percent of the Earth's water can be found in our ocean. Of the tiny percentage that's not in the ocean, about two percent is frozen up in glaciers and ice caps
