  I agree, I would have thought Australia would have very high levels of swimming proficiency compared to other countries. The article doesn’t seem to mention other countries, just the drop in participation/interest within Australia.

  1 in 4 schools dropping swimming carnivals is really suprising to me. I’ve got 2 kids, and my oldest has been to quite a few schools due to us moving around a bit, and every single one of them had swimming lessons and carnivals.

  Though I’m not suprised that parents are less interested or supportive. My husband and I both work full time, often both do overtime, and schools and daycare can be a little overwhelming at times with all of the events and things that require some level of extra thinking or planning or shopping or crafting on our part.
