There are two different, separate issues here:
 
1.  Fathers should teach their children to swim (or make arrangements  for 
/somebody/ to teach the kids to swim) because not knowing how to swim can  
place a person in sakana.
 
2.  Teachers should not take groups of children to bodies of water,  
because of sakana.
 
There is no contradiction between these two statements!
