Ever hear of genes skipping a generation? I'm not saying that the bending is solely based off of that, just that it's part of a grander design, a small factor involved. They are water tribe; it's quite easily plausible there were benders in their lineage somewhere.

As I said; genetics are not the sole reason for characters to gain the ability to bend. It's just one of many factors.
