MODERATORS
Anecdotal, I realise - but this is the first time I've ever heard of any school in Australia school dropping swimming lessons. To hear that it is one-in-four is not just surprising, it's downright difficult to believe. From looking on the Royal Lifesaving website, I haven't found this report. I have found something that appears to refute the news article however.
I think I'm going to need a source on this one.
Is it swimming lessons or swimming carnivals? I am having issues with the article.
The article talks about both.
