It is awful that with all the things we can't control in this world, like wars and conflicts such as those going on in the Middle East, we are still losing lives to things that are completely controllable.
ReplyDeleteI think events like this just emphasizes how being able to swim is important. Everyone should know how to swim because they may never know what could happen.
