Today we went to my Aunts house to cool down and go for a swim!!
The kids had a great time!
During this nice weather I'm sure many parents are taking their kids for a swims... Water safety is soooo important!!! As adults and with kids in the water we always need to be in the water with them! It only takes a second for something to happen.
When I was about 4 I was in my uncle's pool when I slipped into the deep end. I couldn't swim. My dad was on the deck above and saw that I went under and jumped right in to get me... I was fine, if he wasn't close by and watching it could have ended much differently. I know first hand how all it takes is a second to go under.
So stay safe!!!!!! Floaties for all kids and adults in the water too!
Wednesday a couple friends and I are taking a CPR course. Never do I want to be in a situation to use it, but I will feel much better to know what to do in any situation that I would need to use it!
The CPR class is a really good idea! I remember going into the deep end when I was little too and was really fighting to stay above water. Fortunatly my cousin saw me and jumped in and pulled me to the side. Scary though!
