 does anyone know maran 's explanation of the gmara requiring fathers to teach swimming to their children?>> The explanation of that chiyuv is so that he can save himself should he get into a mess on the high seas.  I would imagine that Rav Sheinman considers that not germane to recreational swimming,  Swimming instruction does not seem to be the issue here, particularly when engaged in by the children's fathers.
