[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 419927, member: 1169"] While I doubt that they just toss the kids in the deep end, you should have the right to prohibit your son from participating in that portion of gym class. However, I would strongly suggest that you get difficult child some intensive swim lessons. I cannot image being unable to swim at 14. Add in the fact that the majority of kids he knows have been taught to swim in pe class, it is quite likely that he will end up around water with everyone swimming and whether through peer pressure or taunts/dares, he may literally jump in over in head. Swimming is a life-saving skill. It is definitely one of my "A" basket issues. [/QUOTE]
