Description

Learning to swim can save lives, but many adults are too ashamed to admit they don't know how, especially in the land of a thousand lakes. Learning a new skill as an adult is humbling — and difficult. We hear how one listener learned to swim as a foreigner in Finland and get expert tips for those wanting to take the plunge.

This episode of All Points North was presented by Egan Richardson and Zena Iovino, with additional reporting by Priya Ramachandran d'Souza. The sound engineer was Panu Willman.
