sounds like a wonderful idea. as hot as it has been, a pool sounds terrific.
i imagine panic would be a contributing factor to drowning.

We also had swimming in high school and had to stay in it until we passed We had to do 4 lengths of the pool in each of the 4 strokes we learned, so 16 lengths total. We also had to do a 10 minute survival float and demonstrate some rescue skills with others. I thought everybody had swimming in school at some point! Perhaps that's a regional thing.

Not many Tennessee high schools have a pool....

I agree that teaching children PROPER swimming technique as early as possible is KEY to getting them to be profficient swimmers. The importance of getting kids to PUT THEIR FACE IN THE WATER!! Cannot be stressed enough. Head in the water= proper body position and improved floatation! Head out of the water means that the hips/legs/bum is pointed at the bottom of the pool, acting like a sandbag and making swimming exhausting.

Yes yes yes. The easiest way to teach a child to swim is to get them to put their faces in.

It must have been scary for you at Initiation when they threw you into the Sacred Pool of the Daughters of Zeus ;)
