Best Answer

They didn't have to learn how to swim, they only have to do their job rather than jump off a boat for no reason.

They also chose not to learn to swim because, should they fall overboard, they wanted to die quickly by drowning instead of suffering for a long time and dying of dehydration/starvation while swimming around.
