No way we were too busy playing dodge ball
In 7th grade, when your in Phy-Ed swimming, do you have to jump off the diving board?
No swimming pool in grade or high school here. But we were jumping off cliffs and big rocks in the river by then.
I didn't have swimming class in middle school nor any school I went to.
I didn't have swimming in P.E. Until high school, but no, they never made us do anything like that.
