she wasnt "learning to swim" she had a mishap during practice for a swimming competition. if any of you have even seen a swim competition, you would know that they dive off these little 1 foot blocks into a pool where they race to the other end and back ect. depending how many meters the race is. 134cm is standard depth for that kind of a pool, so i think either the police or the journalist needs to get the facts straight...unless this ten year old COMPETITION swimmer, who obviously has been doing this long enough to compete, really purposely dove head first into 2 feet of water like the article says.
the diving block was 25 cm high...thats less than a foot people. that is way too short of a block, and the pool wouldnt be 90cm deep. thats 2 feet of water. the average kiddy pool is 3 feet. i refuse to believe the facts of this story are true.
however, my heart does go out to the girl. the only fact here is that she really did get hurt. i hope for the best.
