Recommendation
The National Board of Education should set the goal that all school children who are capable of learning to swim should do so while still at primary school. In areas with no swimming halls, transportation, camp-based instruction or visits to natural waters should be arranged. Such co-operation should include the Defence Forces, whose task would be to ensure that all who pass through military service know how to swim.
