Thank you to these amazing individuals/organizations for helping us to get ready for Tuesday’s “Call to Action” meeting.

First responders, health professionals, water safety advocates, school administrators, civic organization, realtors and families who have lost loved ones in drowning will be attending and together, the hope is to develop local plans to prevent future drownings!

🧜🏼♀️ Thank you Kate!!!
The American Academy of Pediatrics updated their position statement about
Here is what they said about
"There is evidence that swim lessons may reduce the risk of drowning, including for those 1 to 4 years of age. A parent’s decision about starting swim lessons or water-survival skills training at an early age must be individualized on the basis of the child’s frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical and cognitive limitations, and health concerns related to swimming pools.”
“Parents should be reminded that swim lessons will not DROWN PROOF a child of any age. It is critical that swim instructors stress this message as well as the need for constant supervision around water.”

Thank you, Kate Kingshott, for teaching these two to swim before Irma arrived! Don't know what we would have kept them busy with, otherwise, while our power is out! Just praying we get power before the pool gets too nasty.
