Is learning to swim important?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/34766836

Almost half of children leaving primary school can't swim well enough according to a report by the Amateur Swimming Association (ASA).

The ASA say that children should be able to swim the National Curriculum standard of 25 metres without any help before they reach secondary school.

But many schools say that getting you guys to the baths and back again without taking up too much of the school day is a real struggle.

We are lucky enough to have swimming lessons at school.  Not all children learn to swim at school.  Do you think it is important?  Write a balance argument giving reasons for and against.   You could use the following headings:

-Introduction
- Why it is important to learn to swim.
- Why learning to swim at school may not be a good idea.
- Conclusion
