I grew up around a lake and was always around water.We could all swim,but our rule was unless you were in a swimming area you had a life vest on.Maybe my mom was over protective,but I am stunned that non-swimmers will be in rivers without life vests.It is a recipe for disaster.Several people die that way every year here in Oregon.
Good swimming lessons include water safety and teach people respect for those situations. Non swimmers have the worst of all worlds, they can't swim and often don't realize how dangerous it is.
