These moms and families share so it doesn’t happen to others.
Please everyone read about the steps you can take and have a safe and beautiful Memorial Day weekend!!
We thought we had time.
To enroll Mazie in swim lessons. (We looked into it and there was not a certified survival swim instructor within 60 miles of us.)
To let her stay in baby floats or flotation devices longer.
To put up a fence around our pool.
To order a pool cover.
To install door and pool alarms.
To remove our dog door.
The truth is, none of us know how much time we have. Is it hard to face all the "what should haves" and vulnerably admit that our tragedy was preventable? 100% yes but there were so many water safety variables we just didn't know. This is why we choose to share and educate others, to ultimately save little lives.
As we near the end of Water Safety month and the peak of drownings this holiday weekend, we ask you to not delay in implementing prevention measures. We have updated the layers of protection through our website and hope you will share with everyone you know and love.
If you don't now, you may not have time.
