[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is more to swimming than getting your head under the water.  This isn't about money but you're not wanting to do it.  You are being really selfish.  I HATE HATE HATE the pool but my kids go to daily swim class through the county (you don't have to go in - just sit there with your iPad or phone for 30 minutes) as they like it and dad takes them on weekends and evenings.  Dad also takes them in the winter to swim classes.  Water safety is important.[/quote]

Ha! You made me laugh![/quote]

:) Good but not trying to. I really hate the pool.  The worst part is the classes are at 9 am and I am not a morning person.  I hope my kids knows how much I love them.[/quote]

Everyone has trade-offs to make.  Just because some can't afford to put all their precious "extra" time or money on one thing like swimming doesn't mean they aren't making sacrifices for their kids or doing things with their kids that make difference to society or teaching them safety or teaching them that not every thing is about them -- they have relatives who need care and feeding too.

If you are low income/cannot afford it, then most counties have low income grants to help.  They have them during the week and the summer so there is no excuse - trust me, if I could come up with one, I would.  The county is $60 for a session for two weeks of 8 lessons or 6-8 weeks of one day a week.  We have complicated lives and are caretakers for relatives and because I am the caretaker I cannot work.  Excuses are easy but why post about it when you really have no intention of doing it.  But, having basic swim knowledge - more than just putting your head under the water (which I will not do) is important.[/quote]
