So for our own safety, we should learn to swim.Lastly, if we can swim, we may be able to save other people from drowning. How sad it is to see a friend drowning before our eyes while we cannot help just because we cannot swim.（1）Who says that swimming is the best exercise? _________.A . FarmersB . DentistsC .
