There are only two types of animals — those which can swim and those which cannot. Why are humans the only creature that has the optional swimming feature they can turn on?

Probably has something to do with being apes. No other ape can swim, so it would stand to reason that we naturally can’t. However, other animals that can’t swim don’t have the intelligence or social support to learn something that presents a high risk of death.
