In every accident on the sea or in
rivers the percentage lost of those who
can swim exceeds that of those who
cannot swim. It is found that the
swimmers have too much confidence
and take too many risks. This is not
an argument against learning to swim,
as the art is good for recreation, and
as a recreation, it can nearly always
be safely enjoyed.
