Saw a stat that 1 in 5 kids in the US can't swim, and I want the full story on why
I was reading a piece from the CDC last week that said drowning is the leading cause of death for kids ages 1 to 4, and that roughly 4,000 people drown in the US every year. The part that got me was that swim lessons cut the risk for little kids by like 88 percent, yet a lot of public pools in cities like Milwaukee and Philly have closed over the last 20 years. Can someone dig into why lessons and pool access are still so uneven, and what actually works in places that turned their numbers around?

Check how many of those cities lost their pools when the schools cut budgets.
