Aquatics at Greenwich High School

The pro's and con's about having aquatics at Greenwich High School.

Do you find it a delight to be walking around with your hair wet in the middle of the day during the cold month of December? Do you mind jumping in a pool while you see snow out the window? The Board of Education sure doesn't mind these problems, if they did, then we wouldn't have the tormenting class. Besides the fact that the pool is filled to the brim with bromine, the locker room is not safe. People's personal items get stolen all the time. A peer in my class put her blackberry on the bench, turned around for a second and looked back and it was gone. My sneakers also got stolen right out of my locker. It was very disappointing.

There are also positive things about aquatics, such as everyone has the chance to learn how to swim. The teachers are very nice; the under privileged teens are given a swim cap and other swim accessories that are needed to let that person swim to their full potential; this is very fair.

Do you think Greenwich High School should continue to make kids take aquatics for one semester during their freshmen year?
