[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the newly-added citations, I don't doubt the statistic. Should swimming be taught in every public school and be mandatory?[/quote] Most public schools don't have pools. My oldest was at Piney Branch ES in MCPS and had swimming every year, I think, as part of PE. However, she was already a strong swimmer by then. I don't think any other MCPS ES has a pool. Jackson Rd ES could walk to the MLK pool easily, but I don't know if they do.[/quote] In Arlington kids start swim in 3rd grade. I think it is a bit late but I think it is a great program for kids who don't have regular access to a swimming pool. They use the local HS's which all have pools. BTW my 2 brothers and I, and my son are all POC and we all swim. I kind of hate it though. Used to teach young kids to swim and now I have developed a bit of a fear. [/quote]
