Simplified meaning
Swimming isn't just about competing or winning races; it's fundamentally about survival and staying safe in the water. Imagine you're on a boat, and it suddenly capsizes. If you know how to swim, you can stay afloat and reach safety, avoiding danger. This shows that swimming is practical and necessary, like knowing how to tie your shoes so you don't trip. Think about fire drills at school—they're not exciting events but essential for knowing what to do in an emergency. Similarly, learning to swim is about being prepared and protecting yourself, not just having fun. So, it's a good idea to learn swimming, as it could save your life one day.
