Glad the Kids Get to Swim... and Learn to Swim

Cause the only pool white people go to seems to be at the casino where Koreans aren't allowed (just when you thought the 19th century was dead).

But for the kids, there are many opportunities to swim, but until recently none of them knew how. I found it interesting to hear from my kids how many of them took swimming lessons this summer (most for the first time). Korea is surrounded by ocean and filled with rivers and yet this is the first time the majority of my students (or more than 1-2 really) seem to be able to swim (and yes, I have asked in years past).

So good on parents for teaching this important skill and getting these kids some much needed exercise.
