[Hopefully it's better than that tilapia bullshit.]
Official training in swimming? [Do people still do that? Where he's from, they may as well just toss toddlers in the water. Go, be free. Like Spartan boys, really, though people will not let them die. That's not on the menu. So maybe not exactly like Spartan boys.] You don't need training unless you want to be a lifeguard. You can learn to swim without lessons. I mean, it's great to have them! But unless you want to learn fifteen different strokes and how to save people from drowning, that's a little overboard.
