Many schools have life saving programs. Even though it can be demanding, Life Saving This is popular as it primarily means saving people who are drowning and thus is a swimming activity that it part deals with improving swimming skills. There are probably more of these programs at school now because more schools have swiming pools. In addition, fewer schools have Scouting programs and life saving was often persued in Scouting.
Lifr-Saving is hard but younstill hav fun. You throw ropes to each other and pull people to the side. You go under the water and collect things from the bottom of the pool. You swim with your clothes on. You tread water for four or five minutes. You pretend to help each other when you are drowning in the pool.
