[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What school district does this in middle school? APS does it in 4th and 5th grade. [/quote] LCPS doesn't do it at all, and neither did Chesterfield County near Richmond where I grew up. Is this an equity thing? Because all of the middle class and upper middle class kids we know can swim by early elementary. [/quote] My kids are in a public school district in the Hampton Roads area and they do a swim unit in 3rd or 4th grade, I can’t remember which. I don’t under the point of doing it in middle school. I can’t think of many things I’d allow my daughter to opt out of in school, but this I wouldn’t hesitate to get a note. Eighth grade is cruel enough. No need to make the girls get in a bathing suit, possibly worry about a tampon, if they already know how to swim.[/quote]
