Jim,
When the wife and I took our CPR certification course, I asked the instructor about the survival swimming. He told me that a majority of parents have their kids complete the course and then, never reinforce the course.

This provides the parents with a false sense of security and in some cases, may lead to these types of tragedies. The child must be retaught about once a month until he is around two years old where he can retain what he has learned.

I still get paid to be suspicious when I got nothing to be suspicious about!
