<DIV>There are two different, separate issues here:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2. Teachers should not take groups of children to bodies of water,
because of sakana.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There is no contradiction between these two statements!</DIV>
