I don’t know much about North Korea geography (rivers, lakes) but where I am originally from, swimming was something boys learned when playing as children. It didn’t cost anything, you were just using local lake. So this assertion is bullshit, unless this is a cultural thing about North Korea.
Swimming is often a recreational activity, North Koreans aren’t well known for their luxuries such as recreation.
I suspect in school they learnt how to worship eternal ruler and his family instead of swimming lessons as well.
So not too many opportunities for a nork to swim.
I imagine somebody well connected enough to be an envoy doesn’t share in the living conditions of the average citizen

This is North Korea you’re talking about.
Your anecdotal evidence is irrelevant when talking about NK.
I presume you are well versed in North Korea customs, yes?
Probably about as much as you.
