[quote=Anonymous]We now line out of state and our school district has swimming as a required part of gym. The best part is that it is in 4th and 5th grade. The rational is that the majority of kids have not hit puberty so there is less awkwardness than doing it in middle school. This also aligns with the local pool that requires children to be with an adult up through the age of 12. The goal is to have all public school kids water safe before that age so that it is safer at the pool over the summer. The 5th grade teachers say that the added benifit is that the kids get "cleaner" at least twice a week so their rooms smell better.[/quote]
