[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's such a waste of instructional time. They should cut it, and it would save a lot of money too.[/quote] A family friend lost a college-bound [b]18 yo [/b]to a drowning accident. It was really, really traumatic, because the family had enough money to afford lessons, but chose not to. All kids need to learn how to swim. If parents aren’t doing it, then it’s appropriate for the school to step in. Dead kids don’t go to college. [/quote] That is awful, but for the zillionth time the APS swim program does not teach the kids how to swim. There isn't enough time to do that. I went and volunteered with one of my kids. [b]All they did was let the kids play in the water for the entire time. [/b]Zero benefit to anyone. [/quote] That’s awful. My kids aren’t affected, but I’m user on behalf of families who areof.[/quote]
