I'm confused... Mandatory swimming lessons as part of the normal school curriculum?
Just asked my girlfriend and she confirmed you don't learn how to swim in American schools. That's kinda strange.

That's kinda strange.Every state is different and even in different states different schools can be different. In my school there was a swimming class as part of your second year in high school.Yeah, I know. Was it optional or mandatory? Second year of high school seems awfully late to learn how to swim.

That's fucking bizzare to me. I mean, I could see it as an elective... if your school has an olympic pool (our school's (very small) swim team traveled to the local municipal pool for practice/meets), but as a mandatory class strikes me as absolutely weird. LC, I assume it took the place of a normal PE class for the duration of it?
