I'm told I should have been born a fish, not a 2-legger. Got pretty far in the badges... over the last few decades the badges and levels keep changing based on shape, color, animal, or whatever. So confusing.
Swimming IMO should be considered one of those vital "Life Skills" since EVERYONE eventually has an encounter with water. Sadly it doesn't take much water depth for someone to panic and drown, whether that water is stagnant (ie pool) or flowing. Even with good swim lessons and skills, swimming in oceans is yet another skill. As I say to my kidlets, ALWAYS respect the water and ALWAYS be wary of turning your back on waves.
