Others have pretty well covered it, as it's a normal part of the primary-school curriculum in much of Western Europe.
At minimum, I'd love to see survival swimming, treading water, basic pool safety in kindergarten (age 5).
We could also add the above to Head Start - that gets pool safety done earlier for disadvantaged kids (who are less likely to get it from their parents). Most of my peers start pool activities when their kids are infants and continue through swim team in primary school, but that's a very middle-class thing and costs a good bit of money/time.
