To attend the multi-day canoe trip, students needed to pass a swim test. Thirty-three students ranging ages 14 to 19 were on the canoe trip. Fifteen of them, including Perry, had failed a swim test at Sparrow Lake Camp in days prior to the trip. Mills “was acutely aware that half of the students were not competent swimmers,” Stanford said.
So they failed a swimming test and the dude let them go on the trip anyway. I can't help but wonder if he did so out of fear of being called racist.
But basketball /baseball /soccer and swimming pool are all in the same place in the city?..... How the fuck doesnt a 14-19 kid know how to swim in 20xx ?
Where the fuck are the fucking parents?We are literally surrounded by lakes?

He would have been old enough and responsible enough to drive pretty soon.
He chose to swim without a life jacket.
So morale of the story... take "city dwelling kids" out of the city or try to help them.. get sent to jail.

These are URBAN youth - hint wink wink. Aka black gangbangers, single mom parent if that, probably never swam in his life.
There are stereotypes for a reason I suppose.
