According to Hov, the birth of his first child Blue Ivy prompted him to wade in the water and finally learn how to swim.

“I didn’t learn how to swim until Blue was born. This is a metaphor for our relationship,” Jay-Z revealed. “If she ever fell in the water and I couldn’t get her, I couldn’t even fathom that thought. I gotta learn how to swim. That’s it. That was the beginning of our relationship.”

While Jay-Z has his swimming abilities up the par, it’s unclear if he’s also worked on his diving skills. In 2013, he went viral after the paparazzi caught Jay-Z diving into a pool in the most awkward of positions.
