You don't want to be one of the 708 families this year whose child under the age of 14 dies in a backyard swimming pool.
Please, please... Country singer, songwriter Granger Smith would do anything to have his son, 3-year old River, back. He'd tell you to read the following articles.
Will your child be one of the 708 this summer?
I thought I made a good case for this
Study finds that a large number of parents would let their kids swim in a pool unsupervised
New guidelines suggest children learn to swim as early as age one to decrease drowning risk
There are 3 outcomes of drowning: death, survival with brain damage, survival without brain damage.
Read the brief articles. If you think this kind of thing would never happen to your family, you've just taken the first step toward tragedy. The arrogance of intelligence is a dangerous thing.
See you next week!
