It is ...This is a fine post and makes a good point. It is indeed essential to teach kids to swim. As a child, you are not only more resilient, but also you're more open minded and haven't got into bad habits of swimming badly or being afraid of water. I wish I had had proper swimming lessons as a child - I can stay afloat but I always feel as if I'm swimming in the wrong way, and it's uncomfortable,<br /><br />When I was 5 I jumped into a pool and would have drowned if a nearby teenager hadn't rescued me. I still remember the sight of the bubbles floating up and me realising I could not breathe and wondering why.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105968435522671527.post-38138770155751185192012-04-04T07:23:23.752-07:002012-04-04T07:23:23.752-07:00Great post.

My daughter never had ear infections when she was learning to swim but I'll admit that when she was on swim team she did get them a lot. Still, I don't think it's any reason not to learn to swim and the only time my daughter had any problems was when she was on swim team in the winter, never from recreational swimming in warm weather.<br /><br />I do have pecans on my tree in the fall although the squirrels get a lot of them.Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968919406427737503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105968435522671527.post-61591992426939843302012-04-03T19:29:23.901-07:002012-04-03T19:29:23.901-07:00The scenery is simply gorgeous!

Here, a lot of the drownings are a result of people going through the ice, so knowing how to swim is not an issue...Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609527768798543641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105968435522671527.post-3690797852463813582012-04-03T13:38:51.586-07:002012-04-03T13:38:51.586-07:00glad the kid was saved

The numbers are much higherin N America I'm sure. I grew up with a swimming pool and don't remember ever not knowing how to swim.Halcyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02729819462354019534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105968435522671527.post-64752295875840688792012-04-02T23:17:32.738-07:002012-04-02T23:17:32.738-07:00Great.Great.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361781616939928650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105968435522671527.post-42097915789108727752012-04-02T19:27:43.199-07:002012-04-02T19:27:43.199-07:00Gosh, I wonder why so many kids there don't kn...Gosh, I wonder why so many kids there don't know how to swim??
