Re: A British Backpacker, 21, Drowned in Cambodia Because He Couldn’t Swim
I will never understand the not knowing how to swim thing. I was never "taught". I didn't "teach" my children in any deliberate, conscious way....... We all swim like fish and never thought twice about it. I swam in the bathtub, with neighbors, visits to my grand parent's, visits to my uncle's, I swam in Day cares, schools, camps, after school programs, at a million creeks, lakes, huge swamp/lake/puddle after a freak storm, snuck in to other people's pools, went to the beach 97,000 times, with parental guidance and permission and with out........in the states you hear of this in the inner cities.....where there is supposedly no access to bodies of water naturally or man made, though I've never EVER actually met someone where it was actually true. The closet thing was parents who couldn't swim not allowing the children and it becoming a multi generational thing......but it would have never stopped me so I still don't REALLY get it. So strange. I don't mean to be ignorant. I understand conceptually how it can "happen" but short of having been absolutely banned from ANY water activity in your life and having been subjected to a cruel and artificial "fear of God" about water force on you ......I don't know.....
