Why kids should learn how to swim

Have you ever watch or heard of a news story that has had a young person drowning? Well even if you haven't they are out there, and usually the victim is a young person, last year alone 81 people drowned and 53 percent of those drawings were from the Maori and Pacific Islander community.

To save people's swimming lessons must be taken and even if a child know how to swim a test wouldn't hurt them. Some schools provide children with swimming lessons during school hours so that parents don't have to rush around kids to all of these places if you live in an area where there is a local swimming pool there would be no charge for kids under the age of 13.

In conclusion, children must learn how to swim by the age of 15 or else they have a high risk of not knowing in their early adulthood.
