In [[Sweden]], Denmark and in [[Finland]] the [[curriculum]] for the fifth grade states that all children should learn how to swim as well as how to handle emergencies near water. Most commonly, children are expected to be able to swim 200 [[metres]] (220 [[yards]]) – of which at least 50 [[metres]] (55 [[yards]]) on their back – after first falling into deep water and getting their head under water. Even though about 95 percent of Swedish school children know how to swim, drowning remains the third most common cause of death among children.<ref name="simtillsyn">{{cite web
