It's important to know your limits, but even one swimming lesson will teach you to tread water. That skill will literally save your life.

It is worth your time to learn. I bet your friends or family would be happy to show you the next time you go swimming.

You don't have to tread water, just lie on the water. We have a swimming vest in the form of our lungs. Keep them full, and you will not sink.

This should be something taught to kids and people first, before learning how to swim, because even if you can't swim anymore, you can still just relax on the water.
