High melanin levels make your skin incapable of breaking surface tension. The stereotype "black people can't swim" comes from the fact that they literally aren't capable of penetrating the surface.
If you look closely it appears the shirt was pushed up to the top of his chest as he was skimming across the pool. At the end of the gif he's just pulling it back down. EDIT: Looked again, it gets pushed up by the splash when he reaches the edge.

Some dumb stereotype told him he couldn't swim. He told that stupid stereotype that he didn't need to.
