		<description><![CDATA[Undeniably consider that which you stated. Your favourite justification seemed to be at the net the easiest factor to keep in mind of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed whilst folks consider issues that they plainly don&#039;t recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as smartly as defined out the entire thing with no need side effect , other folks can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This comment is serious: In the USA, a disproportionate number of African-Americans drown because a higher percentage of them don&#039;t know how to swim. I&#039;m not sure why; it could be because a higher percentage of them are poor and can&#039;t afford swimming lessons, or it could be because learning to swim at the Y at age 5 isn&#039;t a rite of passage for some black people the way it is for many whites. This, in turn, might be because before the &#039;60s in the South black people couldn&#039;t use the local swimming pools, so they couldn&#039;t take lessons and learn to swim. It didn&#039;t become a family tradition.

Joe Delaney is an example: he was from the South and he couldn&#039;t swim (if I correctly remember the news reports from the time, he didn&#039;t know how at all). I&#039;m originally from Kansas City and I remember when he drowned. The whole city was stunned, since he was a popular young player who was blossoming, and he was known to be a nice guy.

Anyway, whether you&#039;re African-American or not, if you don&#039;t know how to swim, learn. You should be able to get cheap lessons at your local YMCA or municipal pool. Community colleges often offer swimming lessons for adults. And make sure your kids learn, too. It might save somebody&#039;s life one day. Maybe yours.]]></description>
