Legislation about sports injuries: Really?

I posted that if the legislative critters were really interested in sports safety, then teaching the kids to swim would be at the top of everyone's agenda.

Great point Mark. Unfortunately Olympic sports often get lost in the discussion.

If they really want to worry about kids health and wellness, then getting all the kids to swim would be top on the agenda. Swimming can save your life, unlike a slapshot or free throw.
Drowning deaths are huge and mostly preventable. And, sadly, access to swim lessons at younger ages is often about one's family economic status.
