"No, Mom, trust me. If I don’t learn how to do a breaststroke, I will never get that internship at Goldman Sachs."

Apparently, there are those among us who pay 46,000 dollars per year in order to...learn how to swim? Really? Beginner's Swimming? Even if you are an aquatic investment banker, you are paying far too much for something that you should probably already know how to do.

Maybe it's me, maybe it’s just Social Darwinism talking, but if you're in college, taking beginner's swimming lessons as a legitimate class, and all you can say is "there was a lot of bobbing involved?" Well, then you probably deserved to drown in the first place.
