parents don't always put their kids in swimming lessons in such a swimming part of the world. We have many lakes and rivers. And no lifeguards on those lakes often. Just a tragedy. I was about 6 or 7 when i decided to dance around a boat on our dock. It was dark. I was alone. I fell in and despite the weight of my dress got right back to the ladder and out. I had probably had 4 sets of swimming lessons by that point in my life.
