I’m quite surprised by this. I grew up in Ireland. There is no swimming lessons in school. My kids who are growing up here had lessons for most of their lives, except where not permitted during covid. They also do nippers.
Most other kids I know do swimming lessons (privately) weekly ongoing, whereas I grew up learning to swim with weekly lessons in bursts of a few weeks. Nippers is less common unless you live near a surf club.
I’m sure it’s dropped as the article suggests, but I’d say it dropped from a high starting point.
