The US doesn't have compulsory swim lessons for little kids, but I do remember it being a part of my high school education. (Probably only 1 or 2 kids in my gym class couldn't swim though.)
Community pools are very much a thing all over the US as well. I imagine COVID changed them pretty dramatically but it was very much a part of my childhood, even though I had neighbors with pools. Just look at the movie The Sandlot. The community pool was a major part of the story.
My dad was a huge fan of Sony’s Watchman series of portable TVs. He had 2 or 3 different models. In the 1990s, I would steal them when I’d go on school trips in elementary school so I wouldn’t miss my TV shows. The limitation of antenna stuff made it less than ideal in a moving vehicle, but being able to watch Melrose Place on a bus in third grade instead of Homeward Bound or The Sandlot was pretty dope.
Which is all to say, very young filmgirl would have loved this shit.
I can see the famous kissing scene from Squints in "The Sandlot" movie remade once again.
