Why ThProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 e Should Be Free Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons we all need them, so should we have to pay for them?

Amazingly around 300,000 drownings or deaths in the water occur world wide each year and they are all because of not learning to swim.Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 C/span>

I think there should be free swimming lessons especialy for the poor. Because of the amount of money the pProxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 r can’t afford to learn to swim and if you can’t swim you’ll find yourself turning down invitations to fishing trips, birthday parties, and just going to the beach.

The advantages to free swimming lessons arpart from the cost and drownings are: you’ll have fun and meet new people, more jobs will open up as swimming instructors, and beaches will be busier witch means more jobs for life guards will open up as well.

More people swimming means more chances of New Zealanders going to the Olympic Games to represnt New Zealand at swimming, this also means that kids will watch more swimming on TV and will want to do swimming lessons. For those of you who don’t know how lotto works I’ll explain, people buy lotto tickets like your mum and dad. Some of the money goes towards the prizes each week, but the rest of the money goes to different charities and clubs including swimming clubs, there for NZ’ers do well in swimming at the Olympic games then lotto will give more money to swimming clubs to encourage kids to represent New Zealand at swimming.

If you play any other kinds of sport swimming will help to improve your fitness levels and keep you healthy, if you have asthma it will also help to make your lungs stronger and healthier and if your body is healthy you’d be less likely to get sick, this also means you don’t have to go to the doctor as much witch saves money as well.

In 2004, 388,000 people drowned but if people had swimming lessons the number of drownings would be dramaticly reduced also on the up side not as many people will be scared of the water.

If I still haven’t persuaded you yet or you can’t swim mabye you could buy a life jacket, since this device could save your life even if you can swim or not. In fact you don’t ever really need to be a good swimmer to save your own life all you need you know is how to float on your back and wait for help.

If you are confident in the water you are less likely to panic and this could save your life.

So think about it Valley if you were in that situation and hadn’t had lessons you’d definitely be wishing you had some.

If free swimming lessons don’t work out because of the fact that the instructors aren’t getting paid then I think the government should pay them, after all government guidelines state that by primary school you should to be able to swim 25m, that isn’t very far is it? If that doesn’t work then people who work there could do it and get payed more or adults could teach their child to swim at a local pool or beach.

And that's why I think everyone should learn how to swim...... or at least float on there back. || media type="custom" key="13825136" || || || ||
