I'd consider myself a decent swimmer. Definitely love being in the water as long as it's not cold as balls. I've never tried swimming distance but I can swim pretty quick for what that is worth. Now I'm curious...
Definitely agree with everyone saying that swimming is something that should be a universal skill but I also understand how people could end up not learning how to. I just hope they realize the value of knowing how to swim and look at it as more than a recreational thing (literally a life saving thing to know) and try to make sure their kids don't end up in the same boat (HA, get it?)
I'm shocked an adult could drown in Sicome as well. I was swimming across that lake when I was 10. How did he get deep enough to drown?
