what you are referring to is almost always a young man showing off or trying to be too brave and they die all over the shop doing that not just in water |
it's sensible for a parent to teach their kids to swim, but it's not a life requirement.

I can neither swim nor ride a bike. I don't like deep water, I avoid it whenever possible.

It's in the same category to me as learning to drive. Nice if you can do it, but no great shakes if you can't |

actually how on earth can you get through school not being able to swim? (unless their is a medical reason etc?)

People can have phobias which stop them being able to learn to swim. My auntie was knocked underwater by a dog when she was paddling as a young child, which created a fear of water in her. Then when she was supposed to be learning at school her fear made her refuse to get into the water, so her teacher picked her up and threw her in, increasing her anxiety tremendously. She gets into pools with her own children, as she sees the importance of swimming for them, but she can't take her feet off the bottom in order to learn herself.
