Not learning (or worse, not teaching your kids) to swim is one of the absolute stupidest things you could do

Swimming is like walking, but for water. It's part of the few basic means of movement we, humans, have at our disposal, along with running, crawling and climbing. Not knowing how to swim puts you at a HUGE disadvantage when it comes to one of life's most dangerous элемент - water. I can't imagine what kind of mentality one must have to not even learn the most basic movement in water. It's like deciding to just never learn to walk and just crawl everywhere. I know it's more complicated than that, but still.... And not learning to swim when you have kids is even worse. I know there are a lot of people out there that don't have access to Swimming pools, but 1. it's still worth learning to swim on land, 2. as a parent it's your job to provide for your kids, and if you can't afford swimming lessons, then maybe you shouldn't have kids. Teach them to swim, because they might not have the opportunity to once they grow up.
