Question

I need a very good answer! in every question u answered i will give u a thumbs up! i swear. ur answer for my question could be for kids need excrsize (for pools) kids need to stay active or to be a better swimer! plz plz help me plz plz plz lol

Answer 1

swimming and water polo is a popular sport and pools need to be open so students have an opportunity to participate in them.

Answer 2

Schools should not close pools because it allows a wide array of people from different backgrounds and races to get their essential excercise in a common place. This is crucial as it promotes cultural diversity in schools, further allowing many people to be more tolerant of other cultures/religions/races.

Answer 3

the pools in schools may be the only place some kids have an opportunity to learn to swim. if this was taken away, more kids would be prone to drowning

Answer 4

For many children school swimming is the only opportunity that they have to particiapte in the sport and deffinatley the only experience they get of learning to swim.  Learning to swim gioves them confidence along with opening many more opportunities to them such as water polo, synchromised swimming, aqua aerobics, diving, canoeing, kayaking and many many more!  Taking away a school pool not only takes the immediate opportunity of swimming and learning that skill but actually can result in a lifestyle altering change and disabeling factor by taking the opportunity for other water based activity away from the children.

Answer 5

In addition to what everyone else has said, keeping the pools open allow a place for kids gather in a safe place. The time spent here can help install important life values and keep them from commiting crime. A tired kid who just swam with friends is less likely to get into trouble than a kid who was bored and had time to think and commit a crime!

Answer 6

You're lucky that you even get pools over there, I think they have pols at the elementary and middle schools in Arizona cause it REALLY hot but I've been to six schools in my short life time and none of them had pools. But I guess they should keep it open for recreational reasons. Students need to be active, especially when you're considering the obesity factor in our country, other than kill them in running how aobut having fun while swimming, I wish my school had a pool. I hate sports, I HATE running, and swimming is the only sport I don't get tired with. In Kentucky them MAKE you learn how to swim by third grade. Florida is surrounded by water and they do no such thing here.

Answer 7

Why would they? kids need exercise, they need to stay healthy, and some times they just need a break. It get's so hot in the summer, and some kids don't have any other place to swim, and just have fun.

Answer 8

Firstly, to help keep kids fit

Secondly, kids learn lifesaving skills in pools.

Thirdly, kids learn leadership skills, because you are putting them in a new environment they've never been in before.

Answer 9

Because if schools close pools kids aka adults wont have anyway to distract themselves and they will be stressed out during class

Answer 10

I know all about this topic. My school closed the pool a few years back and they are refusing to re-open it. Here are some of the following reasons that the pools should stay open in schools:

1) Many kids do not know how to swim, and having a pool nearby would be a good place for lessons.

2) School pools are often used by the public and can be a good source of income for the district.

3) Many school's sponser swim teams that would benefit from having the pool. My team has to travel an hour to the nearby University for practice (every day) and for home meets.

4) The pool could also be used for gym classes and could give students a wider variety of exersize.

Unfortunately, none of those reasons have gotten us a new pool. But, then again, we aren't exactly in good enough financial standings to build a pool anyway.
