Actually, as a certified swimming instructor, learning to swim as an adult is significantly more challenging due to ingrained fear responses. It's commendable that he's overcoming that. Most people wouldn't last a minute in his shoes.

imagine being a pro athlete and not being able to swim wtf

That's a common misconception. Many elite athletes never learned swimming in childhood due to focusing on their sport. Nothing to do with being 'wtf'.
