Providing very young children with swimming lessons appears to have a protective effect against drowning and does not increase children's risk of drowning, reported researchers at the National Institutes of Health.

I had the throw you in the lake and watch you swim lessons, they worked fine and were free:-)

So it is true, the government can spend our money better than we can. I could have done that experiment very cheaply. Take kid #1 (the one you like) and teach him/her to swim. Take kid #2 (the whiny annoying one) and don't teach him or her to swim. Throw both kids in a pool that is 12ft deep. Take notes on results! :-)

:-) Similar experience here. Similar to learning how to ride a bike. Set me on the seat. Feet barely reached the pedals. Gave me a running push and let me go.

So that's what all the worlds true geniuses have been working on all these years. Wow... I figured they were working on something moot and pointless like a cure for cancer or something.
