Vladimir Putin assigned to include swimming to the education system next year. 

During a meeting of the Council of Physical Culture and Sports Development, Putin noted that swimming is not just a sport but a vital skill.

"We need to make provisions for teaching children to swim as a part of the education system. We will start to finance this program next year, 2022, both at the federal and regional levels," the president said. 

He added that this would require a separate interdepartmental program.
