> Back in the early 70’s, the YMCA used to have a TV commercial about taking swimming lessons. It had a catchy jingle. Here’s the verse I remember: “There is fun in the water, but there’s danger, too So you have to swim well, so nothing happens to you” Chorus “Learn how to swim at the Y M C A Learn how to swim at the Y M C A” Anybody else remember this? Or the rest of the jingle?
