    "I sense a little sarcasm here" Sorry, I meant a lot. I am embroiled in the battle of what do we want our children to learn, and how do we want them to learn. I don't mean to be rude. I share your concern for the needless deaths due to drowning, yet swimming is a perk. It is not the State or Federal Government's duty to teach swimming. Thier mandated pass/fail test might be a disaster. Anywho, if 50 meter tanks were in abundance, the world would be a happier place.
