Is it my imagination that most colleges have dropped the swim requirement for graduation? I know it is true at both my and my wife's alma maters and I have heard the same from a number of others.
In my opinion, it should be a requirement to graduate elementary school! The largest percentage of drownings in this country appear to be in the youngest and least educated population. Let's get to these people and teach them how to swim while they are still young and before they have a chance to drop out of school. Cullen Jones is doing just that. :applaud: But, his program should be taken nationwide- no- make that worldwide.
