Mostly I am commenting on the irony of a beach using such an anti-swimming name for a festival.
In informal polls in my class, I would say about ten percent of my students can swim.
I have met only one Korean who could swim as well as I do, although even as a fat, old man, that is a fairly high standard to reach.
Whenever the wind blows away from shore at the Sockcho beach and I am there, I pull several people stuck on their tubes and unable to swim back to shore.
Your email appears to be for the government of Gangwondo. I would love to find a swim team in sokcho, yangyang or even Gangneung to volunteer for. Can you help me? Together, we can make Koreans good swimmers. Fighting!
Welcome to the 'Sea of Fear Festival'. (Naksan Beach, if you do want to go.)
Why do you think korean are not good swimmers? I doubt your wishing..
