🌊Today is INTERNATIONAL WATER SAFETY DAY!🌊

Drowning Statistics on Children:
• 88% of child drownings occur with at least 1 adult present.
• We lose 11 school buses worth of children to fatal unintentional drowning per year, with the average school bus seating 80 students.
• Two out of three drowning incidents that take place in the home occur in a bathtub.
• 23% of child drownings happen during a family gathering near a pool.

Greater awareness leads to greater action—let’s work together to protect our children around water.

Check out the “Water Safety” info on our story highlights. I’ve added an Amazon link on our stories and the highlight to some easy DIY door locks that you can order asap to start on your 5 Layers Of Protection this summer!

Learn & Practice CPR
Water Safety Course & Rescue Equipment
If a child is missing, always check the pool or other water features first.

*Anyone who live in a home with a pool or who is frequently around water should learn CPR with rescue breaths. Require all babysitters, and caregivers to have current CPR training and certification. In groups, such as pool parties, at least one person should know CPR. Proper training and certification should be refreshed every 1-2 years or more frequently if there have been recent changes in recommendations.

Here’s Harley, my number 1 reason why I started Summit Swim🥹.
_________________________________________
Eight years ago Harley brought life into the world around me.
Six years ago today that world shattered after losing him to drowning.

I’ve had parents/people ask how I handle upset kiddos during lessons and it’s not that I tune them out.. but when I hear your kiddo cry, it means life to me.

It doesn’t bother me if they come in or leave upset with me. I will always meet them with a smile, calm them with a hug, or high five them as they leave.

That breath is life… something I had begged to see come from Harley 6 years ago.

I have my instructor side that sees their potential and work to see their progress daily, but along with that is a mothers heart that genuinely wants to see them happy along with being safe in the water for themselves and for you.

What I wouldn’t do to have my Harley here with me.
I thank God often over having him for even that bit of time and now for continually giving me purpose, opening doors, & surrounding me + mine with supportive loving family away from family.

over and over i move from
“i can’t believe you’re gone.”
to “i hope you exist in someway, somewhere.”
to “please let me find you again wherever you are.” there could be minutes. hours. days in between. but i always step from one stone to the next in this cycle of missing you.

Not all devices sold by retailers are tested and approved flotation devices. Devices that are not tested and approved cannot be considered a safe layer of protection and should not be part of a family’s water safety plan. While some swim lesson programs utilize flotation devices as a tool in formal lessons, there is no evidence a child will learn to swim independently or gain water competency skills by only using a flotation device.

Always wear a US Coast Guard (USCG) life jacket in or around natural bodies of water and when boating. Because supervision can never be perfect, life jackets can also be an important layer of protection for children who lack water competency or when other layers of protection are not in place. Caregivers should not overly use flotation devices in swimming pools and never use as a replacement for practicing touch-supervision or gaining water competency. There is no evidence that life jackets alone can teach a child to swim. A life jacket is only effective if worn BEFORE someone enters the water. Never replace or substitute arm bands, inner tubes, or other inflatable water toys for tested and approved life jackets

🌊☀️Nothing like a bit of water & sunshine for your summer!

This sweet 10month old had the cutest crossed leg float for the beginning half of lessons. Even though it looked cute, it made him pretty unbalanced. I can’t take full credit with how much these kids fix and do on their own while in the water.. just as us parents guide our own children safely through life is comparable to how I guide your littles through each lesson, lots of patience and trust with them! 🫶
