Nanny State PING.........

Personally, I do think everyone should learn to swim, and at a young age............however, I'm not the government.

When I was in grammar school in the 50's, the local YMCA offered free swimming lessons to all the city's kids, on a voluntary basis.

Even though I was the only one still clinging to the pool ladder at the end of the course, the fact remains that the free lessons were available to anyone who wanted them.

Additionally, people who can't swim and have a fear of water generally avoid it.

Seems simple enough to me.

Of course, this constitutes incomplete assimilation into the hive and there's the rub.
