    Kaibattal, Kadri where we lived is surrounded by ponds, lakes, wells & rivulets. Every year one or more children were drowning or getting washed away. Hence our Grandfather forced all the children to learn swimming at an early age. I learnt swimming when I was in second standard. We also received lessons from him like go with the current, do not try to swim against the current etc.

    With so many drowning deaths reported, parents & schools should teach children to swim. Let the life guards help. This will save lives.
