[quote=Anonymous]They are supposed to get swimming in 3rd and 4th and again in 9th/10th I believe. Can’t remember if they also go in middle school. My son was in 3rd last year and they do a very basic test on first day to see where kids are at and then two groups - one for beginners and those who need more basic instruction and one for kids who can swim and they work on strokes. I do think they get to play on the last day. APS takes a lot of crap for requiring the schools to have pools and provide the swimming curriculum but I really can’t think of anything more important to teach kids. Many kids in Arlington do NOT have access to a pool and/or swim instruction for a variety of reasons. [/quote]
