3 drownings today alone....wtf?

Apparently the reason kids are no longer taught to swim at school is that schools can't afford pools & their upkeep. Perhaps we need to look at schools being able to have time for kids to go to a public pool & be taught to swim & perhaps the govt could pay for that.

The cost would surely be a hell of a lot less than death by drowning.

iirc it happened when OSH requirements required all commercial pools to have much more frequent testing, like several times a day or some such. Which I guess imposed more costs on schools, and required someone to be there everyday, during holidays etc  Maybe they also needed to be qualified to take the samples, idk.
