A big red flag for me is that safety is not one of their foundational values.

It's literally the first thing in the list of foundational values.

> 1. The Right to Swim

> Safe, healthy and swimmable waterways should be accessible to all people.

I guess they mean safe water as in water you will not get ill from swimming in whereas I think parent is talking about safety as in safe from drowning

Better connection to nature makes swimming safer. Children learn to swim and respect water.

I’m not sure I quite understand why that’d be a red flag?

It’s great if there are lifelines, education, and good security equipment by the water, but if it’d be the city’s responsibility to keep me safe from drowning I’d worry they’d try to push me into swimming only where and when they have chosen.

My guess is that it goes without saying, because it's part of their school curriculum. (Assuming this has a particular countries perspective)
