Swiming
In 2019,2018 and 2017 there were lots of deaths because people didn't know how to swim that is why they died. People learn how to swim because they don't want to die and our school and schools around the world do the same because they don't want to die. It is very good. I don't want to die from the water. I want to be like my dad and swim.
This week my school is learning how to swim so we don’t die in the water we are doing for two weeks. When you go to the beach.
