[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There should be an easy opt-out. Lots of kids are already in the water 2-3x per week with swim practice and meets. Getting soaking wet and then going back to school on a cold day after learning nothing is uncomfortable and a waste of time.[/quote]

My child is in 4th/swims 5 days a week and he'd love to do this.  No reason to opt out even if they swim already.  Its not a big deal in the cold.  A week to get kids under water and a basic doggy paddle is a good idea.[/quote]

My kid is a competitive swimmer, and isn’t looking forward to this unit. Dealing with changing in a chaotic locker room and returning to school with wet hair in cold weather sounds unpleasant to her, and me. If there’s an easy opt out we’ll take it. Getting other kids in the water and hopefully comfortable with some basics is worth it, for sure, but that can happen without every single 3rd/4th grader along for the ride. In fact, it would free up instructors to focus on the kids who need attention.[/quote]

Wow. So inconvenient and unpleasant for your competitive swimmer. You should definitely opt out.[/quote]
