​2. Do you think it's necessary for everyone to learn to swim?
[Part 3]

​As far as I'm concerned, it's a ​must-have skill. Firstly, it's a great sport, which can help people ​​get into shape and ​​keep fit. You know, I happened to know that according to a study, people who are ​strong swimmers are less likely to suffer from heart diseases. ​Additionally, it's ​entertaining as well. ​Say, if you travel to a coastal place like Bali or something, swimming is definitely something you wish you can do, because then you can ​​have a go at different kinds of water sport or even go scuba diving to take a close look at what it's like under the sea, like ​coral reef, fishes, you ​name it.
