[quote=Anonymous]Every kid should learn to swim. Whether you like pools or swimming is irrelevant. Your kid will have a lifetime of opportunities to drown if you don't teach him how to swim. I hate swimming and pools too, but I made sure my kids were strong swimmers because I think it is one of my duties as a parent to give them that life skill. For example, my kids get invited to several birthday pool parties a year. The end of year school parties in our Arlington public schools have been at a local swimming pool for the past 3 years. There is a week-long swimming unit every year in PE. Many summer camps have a swim component (for example, my kid's summer basketball camp has a swim break every day.) Your kid will be invited to social/work events on boats, in or near the water, etc. for the rest of his life. He will be invited to the beach with friends, will want to go to Beach Week and Spring Break in HS/college, etc. [/quote]
