Read a statistic this morning that I found hard to believe:
Only about 35% of Americans know how to swim, and only 2% to 7% swim well,...
When we were kids, long before there was a swimming pool in town, we had several favorite "swimming holes" in local creeks. Have to admit were I to drive by any of these spots today and actually saw people swimming I'd be pretty surprised. After all, lots of critters and no chlorine. But I can't think of any kids my age that didn't at least know how to swim! Have things changed that much?
