FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Teacher Amelia Lloyd said the half-hour lessons were valuable because “schools are no longer offering swimming programs because of the cost for parents and the lack of staff to run the program”.
An education department spokesman said learning to swim is incredibly important.
“This is why it is an essential part of the curriculum as outlined in the Victorian Essential Learning Standards,” he said. “Victoria’s self-managing schools are best placed to decide how they will incorporate water safety programs.
“There is a range of options for schools in offering swimming programs to their students.
“For example, some schools may use VicSwim program and bus their students to the local pool, other schools may hire swimming instructors or use swim programs run by the YMCA, while other schools have teachers who are also qualified swimming teachers.
“As with any school activity, parental permission is always sought and a parent’s decision is always respected.”
Royal Life Saving has launched a petition which it hopes people will sign as it pushes for compulsory lessons. “It isn’t right that insufficient resources are increasing the likelihood of children drowning.”
