Comment on ‘A fundamental part of growing up’: Why Aussie kids can’t swim any more

Connecting people with data is fine, but using it to draw conclusions the data doesn’t support - like saying aussie kids cannot swim anymore - is just overselling the issue to get more clicks.
Stick to the facts, give case examples of this happening and don’t use sensationalism.
