My family always had a pool, and we lived mostly on the ocean. So not learning to swim was simply not an option.

I was shocked by the news story recently were 6 teens drowned by stepping off a sandbar and not one person out of the dozens there could swim except one passerby who saved 1 person. Really sad.

Learn to swim!
