It sounds like they should have been equipped with eccentric breathing apparatus, like insectile projections. An enigmatic signalling code with punishments for deviations would also not be out of place.

They may have been -- I ditched swimming as much as I could and went to the mall across the street from the school instead. Shopping, Swimming -- they're close, right?

A diving helmet is de rigueur in both cases.

Can you?
Yes, I can. I've been a rescuer at the beach. You'd better learn to swim. You never know when you need it. I taught my husband to swim.

In public pools you don’t know what people are doing in the water. I live near Lake Erie and who knows what kind of filth is coming out of the nearby sewage plant not to mention all the beer cans, dog turds and dead fish on the beach. In the ocean you don’t know what’s lurking under the surface. So, while the answer is I can, I don’t.

Well, you could trip and fall with your head in a bucket filled with water, or you could fall asleep in your bath tub, but it's also possible that you will have an accident with the car and end up in the water. I can give you a lot more reasons, but I guess you can imagine them yourself.

A smoking hot drunken sorority girl rips off her bathing suit and jumps in the ocean. Oh no! She's too drunk to swim!

You see a young child in a pool drowning and you're the only one around that can help.

If I was chasing you toward the end of a dock, swinging a baseball bat with a sharp metal spike through the end.

The dock's got no hands, how's it meant to hold onto the bat?

Okay, but can you shoot it in slow motion?
