It’s summer fun time! And to a lot of folks that means endless afternoons poolside, slushy colada in hand, kiddies splashing, laughing, creating memories, acquiring the beautiful sun kissed complexion that many adults envy (through layers of high SPF sunscreen, of course).

Most often, these good times go off without a hitch.  But sometimes the fun times come to a screeching halt when someone notices that little Johnny hasn’t come up for air in a while.  But what happened? There was no flailing, no screaming for help…And we were all right here by the pool.  How did this happen?  What many people don’t realize is that real life drowning doesn’t usually happen the way it does in the movies.

One of our readers sent a link (below)  for a great article outlining some important information on drowning prevention and warning signs to look out for.  Thank you for your support, and we hope to hear from you again soon!
