> Refugees and immigrants will be given free swimming lessons, after yet another drowing of a refugee child who could not swim.
Yet at the same time....
> Dutch families with low income or welfare support, receiving nothing. Nor receive a small subsidy to make it possible for their kids to also learn how to swim.
I remember the days when learning to swim was part of primary school.
You had lessons on wednesday after 12:30.
As you only had half a schoolday on wednesday.
I find it sad that swimming lessons became privatised and the only persuit was profit.
