Thank you for your email, Maureen. You made an excellent point about making it to safety. Swimming is a lifesaving skill, but only if you can make it to safety under any circumstances.
So keep your kids in swimming lessons until they are water safe in all bodies of water. Not just a swimming pool.
If you have any thoughts on the subject or experiences that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you.
Love the water but fence it in,
Tessa
