He crawled through the doggie door, went straight for the pool and fell in. It is so sad!

We are giving our grand girls swimming lessons. It's so important. Their Dad and Mom Put up a 4feet deep by about 15 feet pool for the summer. I just cannot stress to them enough that young ones their age will just jump in and think they can swim. I am so happy to hear about this great program. It will certainly help these children to at least be able to save themselves if they fall in. I know the YMCA where these lessons are taught stress safety in and around the water. <br />Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285774814387516190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-43962863658611336102017-06-04T13:21:53.760-07:002017-06-04T13:21:53.760-07:00What a wonderful program - and so needed in your n...What a wonderful program - and so needed in your neck of the woods (or maybe section of the pond?).<br />When I taught in the city, I was amazed at the number of kids who didn't know how to swim, but then if all you have is spray parks and your parent doesn't have the time/money/inclination to get you to a pool, how could you learn?Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-62145208379519800022017-06-04T06:59:51.775-07:002017-06-04T06:59:51.775-07:00I used to teach swimming and I think it's a ve...I used to teach swimming and I think it's a very good skill to have early on. Besides learning the swimming skill, another thing they should be taught is what to do if they get dumped into water with their clothes on. And they need to practice that in a controlled/safe way. Thanks for making a difference!
