Swimming class
  Notes:

In Japan, nearly all schools are built with a pool, so swimming is a required subject.

 
   
   
   
"The water’s cold!"
"Hang in there!"
The six graders are using the school pool. Different grades use the pool at different times. We use double periods for swimming class.
We use the pool in July, August, and September. In July and September, we swim during gym class. During summer vacation (late July to end of August), students can take swimming lessons at the school pool.
