Pools at all Minn. schools too costly, so state recommends buddy system

It is too expensive to require every school to have a pool for swimming lessons, a state group looking at the issue has concluded.

The group reports that it would cost more than $550 million to provide pools and lessons for all public school students.

Instead, it suggests that schools partner with existing community pools and work drowning prevention into physical education classes.
