It did however derail the thread, hence why it has been split.
Conversations have a habit of wandering around all over the place. It is what human beings do when thinking out loud.

It might be a more efficient use of money if instead of consultants, advertising agencies, marketing groups and advisors scooping up the funding, it went to actual educators with the best chance of teaching people how to swim.

Seems to me far too many dollars are getting sucked up by bureaucrats and consultancies, starving the real targets of funding. Business as usual...
