Just a hope, really.
But everyone should know how to swim -- teaching it in physical education class is not, IMO, at all far-fetched.

People of African origin have bones that are more dense and a lower percentage of body fat. People of Irish descent, ditto.

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

My 8yo has no fear of the water.........thus making me terrified everytime she is in it. But she has had swimming lessons.
Our friends' summer places are right on Chincoteague channel, she wears a life jacket whenever we are over there.

Thread, after thread, after thread, after thread....
Everyone keeps speculating as to WHEN we will get hit again.
We are getting hit. Without a shot being fired.

I was swimming with my kids and some of my grand babies under water before they were a year old. They naturally hold their breath and have no fear. Fear is a learned reaction.

Southern plantation owners prevented slaves from learning to swim so they would be less likely to escape. Even if this were true, it passes my understanding as to how it has any relevance to people today.

One of the themes of Healthy People 2010 is to overcome Health 'diversities'.
Not sure if the pool is meant to force people to swim or drown them if they can't.
Not sure if I'm being sarcastic either.

There are far more kids who go swimming than who fly.
