That's survivor bias. If you throw a million 8 year olds into the ocean, you'll create hundreds of swimmers.

The "good times create weak men" I have less of a story for, but it's perhaps something like this:

If you throw a million 8 year olds into the ocean while wearing life-preservers, you will end up depriving some of them the chance to learn to swim, and wrongly teach many of them that there's nothing dangerous about the ocean.
