There are approximately 3,500 drowning accidents in the United States every
year. We must eliminate these tragic events. One way to be safe around the
water is to learn to swim. It is irresponsible to live near a lake or ocean and not
know how to swim. Therefore, I believe that every high school located near a
body of water should make students pass a swimming test in order to graduate.
Many lives could be saved if schools teach students to swim and be safe around
water.
