NY poster here. I didn’t know anyone on a swim team and don’t know if high schools had them. Swimming lessons were not a priority, certainly not proper strokes. I can do a basic doggy paddle. We swam if we ever went on vacation to a lake or a place with a pool. [b]The local Y had a pool [/b]but I don’t remember taking lessons. To this day, my father in his 70s can’t swim. Also, I never heard of beach week for teens until moving here.[/quote] Okay, so you did have access to a pool. You probably didn't swim because your father didn't swim. [/quote]
