Swimming is a basic survival skill. Everyone should learn to do it.
I also lobby for teaching parachute landing falls in gym class, not to produce a nation of airborne troopers, but to prevent injuries. I’ve lost count of the number of times I have felt myself going down and the training “kicked in.” I wind up on the ground uninjured.

Like learning to harness a team of horse. You just never know when it might come in handy.
