My recollection of attending public schools in VA is that there is swimming in 4th grade for PE and again in 10th grade. The state of VA made the decision in the 1950s to build olympic size swimming pools in most of their public high schools. Hence, VA's strong representation in the olympic swim records. |

| I don't believe that is true at TJ. I grew up in Northern Virginia and we did not have a pool. Some Arlington county schools do. |

This was not the case in FCPS but not sure about other districts. |

| Yall stupid. Public school swim lessons have nothing to do with this. Thank god you’re not investigators! |

No one knows if it was only the two people. Do you? Do you know that she *drank* at the bar for *hours*? She was seen on a video footage at the bar drinking? For hours? Or she was at the bar for hour(s) having a drink or two? How do you know that there wasn't any activities that occurred at the bar (or even earlier that night) that led to the possible other things that took place at or near or elsewhere? You don't. |

Our tax dollars go to pay the interest on the national date. Sorry to disappoint. |

Usually there is also beer in the room minifridge, and some hotels in the RIU chain have alcohol dispensers (full bottles of rum and other things) on the wall IN each room. Access to alcohol after bar close would likely not be a problem. |

While swimming lesson will teach you basics and will give you confidence to swim, we are not talking about swimming at the Y pool in this case. Few have mentioned already that that water is tough for even the most advanced, source coast guards. |

+1 Also what would they be accusing him of exactly? Killing her somehow, and doing what with the body? Throwing it in the ocean? (most people would know the cause of death could be determined once the body is recovered). Or disposing of it how, exactly, in a foreign country where he does not know his way around or have a vehicle? Not likely. Or the talk about him being part of a human trafficking ring etc….is pretty far fetched unless there is something about his background that raises a red flag or suspicion. |

+1 I don’t see how her swimming skills are even relevant unless it is on an extreme level end (like she supposedly could not swim at all, or was an Olympic level swimmer or experienced beach lifeguard or something). |

It should have been known by those travelers not to drink any of those rum from dispenser stuff. Maybe they didn't drink it. hope they knew. |

Likely the bar staff, her friends, and/or any other patrons would have provided this info to the police already. They would’ve had at least a general idea of how intoxicated she was or wasn’t. |

You’d think so, but college kids and free booze? I wouldn’t be too hopeful. Beyond all of that, most of these resorts would have a convenience store or something on site that sells booze & other items. Or often there are convenience stores down the street in these areas where they could buy alcohol and other things. |

VA failed to teach kids how to swim drunk. I blame the moral majority for not allowing the government to do its job! |

You are SO sexist, and out of touch with modern times. A woman can wear whatever she likes. That communicates zero about what she wants and what she has consented to. F off |
