ZANZIBAR, Tanzania (AP) - Eleven boys and girls who were learning to swim drowned in this Indian Ocean archipelago when their boat capsized Wednesday, witnesses said.
The witnesses said a wave capsized the boat as the children's instructor watched from the shore. The children were all between 11 and 15 years old. One child survived by swimming to safety.
The witnesses said the children were not wearing life jackets because their school could not afford them.
