hammer

Hammers always sink.

Japan is surrounded by seas, so swimming is thought to be important to protect yourself, if necessary.
Therefore, every school has a swimming pool of 25 meters. Prior to summer vacation, pupils have swimming classes for a while as physical education at school. When you are around 10 years old, you have to be able to swim 25 meters (=82 feet) without stopping. If you cannot, you have to attend summer school in order to practice swimming. Moreover, you are called, 'hammer' by your friends. It is a big embarrassment, so pupils make great efforts to be able to swim 25 meters.
