Toronto student who drowned during school canoe trip appeared to swim poorly, court hears

 
TORONTO --
A young man who was on a fatal school canoe trip nearly four years ago says he didn't notify the supervising teacher that a student who later drowned appeared to be a bad swimmer.
Adrian Coufadis says he teased Jeremiah Perry about his poor swimming abilities after seeing the 15-year-old struggle to reach their canoe as it drifted away from shore on the first day of the trip.
He says Perry was wearing a life jacket at the time, as safety rules required for canoeing, and eventually managed to flutter-kick the canoe to shore while Coufadis paddled.
Under cross-examination today, Coufadis -- who was 19 at the time of the trip -- was asked whether he reported his initial observation regarding Perry's swimming to Nicholas Mills, the teacher leading the trip.
