| Poll question: Do you know how to swim? |
|
You're not going to graduate from my local high school if you don't learn how to swim. (unless you are in a wheelchair or something) Swimming is an essential survival skill and everyone at my school was required to take lessons every year in gym class since around third grade. I'm not sure why but it was drilled into us that if we don't know how to swim we are going to die.
Yet in many other places, especially in schools that didn't have pools, there are a lot of folks who still don't know how to swim or even tread water. I think that is an astonishing thing and I'm surprised they managed to stay alive this long.
