[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4000 people drown in the US every year, and more than half of all adults have never taken a swim lesson. I think it is very reasonable to teach students this lifelong skill that can save their lives. [/quote] These classes are not teaching kids to swim. It's not close to enough time or exposure. The kids would probably still drown if they tried to swim in the Potomac or even if they fell in a swimming pool and someone wasn't right there.[/quote] The classes get weak swimmers to where they won’t drown in most cases, and complete novices on the road to safety at a minimum. It’s five consecutive days of an hour in the pool.[/quote]I think that's aspirational.[/quote]
