We are off to swimming lessons today. Supertot loves the water but Superboy...not so much.It made me remember that I had not yet read the article from Mario Vittone's website: Drowning Doesn't Look Like Drowining. This is a must read for anyone planning on being around the water this summer.
According to Vittone, Drowning is the number two cause of death for children 15 years and younger (after motor vehicle accidents). Of the approximately 750 children who will drown next year, about 375 of them will do so within 25 yards of a parent or other adult. In ten percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch them do it, having no idea it is happening (source: CDC). - SCARY!
Drowning doesn't look like your typical drowning that you see on tv. Know the signs, read the article, then go hug your children and tell them you love them.
