[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting because my parents are from low income backgrounds but both learned how to swim. I also started learning swimming as a child. Sometimes these things aren't so black and white. I understand what you're trying to say but sometimes these things just vary from family to family. [/quote]

I think some of is can vary based on circumstances. I got swim lessons as a kid because they were part of the low-budget day camp my mom sent us to for the entire summer, which followed the American Red Cross swim program. I never took swim lessons outside of that camp, but learned enough to be a decent swimmer. My kids only go to full-day camp a couple of weeks of the summer and they don't do swim lessons there anyway (just free swim), so they didn't take lessons until we joined a pool and it occurred to me they would need lessons to learn to swim. Even then, they did two summers of small-group swim lessons at our pool before I learned that groups lessons weren't how the solid swimmers learned to swim, they all took private lessons.[/quote]
