This got me to thinking. I remember back in the day, in order to graduate from certain colleges, you had to take a swim class and test. I did at my college. Nothing hard, super basic. This should be implemented at all levels of education. I understand not all high schools have pools but most communities do. Would be good to see some kind of standard implemented to keep this from happening.

I'd been swimming and trying to water ski since 6yr old... my senior year bday at the lake.. for some reason my knee and hip locked up in the water. Although I had one good leg and two good arms I FREAKED. I remember yelling a few curse words before a friend realized I wasn't playing and swam out to calm me and help me in. #### HAPPENS sometimes. But it shouldn't.

He was 33yo and swimming in a large community pool with his wife and kids. Next thing they know they look over and he's floating. Water was maybe 4 feet deep. Chest high at best. Many thought it must have been a heart attack or something, but it was just drowning according to the autopsy. Horrible.
So many people in the prime of their lives take life for granted. Each day is a gift, I don't care if you're 1yo or 100yo. Your last day could be today, and that's at any given moment.
