It could avert a tragedy.

So they taught a kid to swim....big deal. Kids naturally swim and float. (Especially after you teach them how...lol.) Adults are the ones that let their nerves get in the way.

Considering I have a pool in my backyard and I have 3 kids under 5 y/o next door, all I can think is that I thank God I have a lock on that fence around the yard!

I like the new pool surface alarming systems! Works great if someone is home to hear the alarm...what if no one is home and the neighbors kid jumps in????? Good idea, not fully thought out, unless I am missing something, which has happened!

Well, evidentally, the people who run that outfit saw something in it, if it isn' a big deal and kids can swim and float by themselves, then why do they drown so often?

One would hope a baby or young kid would not be in a positon where they would end up in a pool like that but I think it is great that skills like that can be digested at such a young age.

Since my son was born 2+ years ago he has been in the water. Given the first few months. When he began to take baths without being held, he was going under water. Seemed to like it. Got to the point that at any pool all he wanted to do was go under water. Of course somebdoy was always within a fingers reach of him. At the local pool parnents would freak out when they saw him under the water. They would tell the lifeguards. Whenever he surfaced he was laughing and wanted to do it again. The lifeguards would watch as we would run(that is all he seems to do) from the 1' to the deeper water and go under. They would even come up to us and say that is pretty cool. Tried to let him go off the Diving board or slide but he was too little. Maybe this year. WATER like FIRE needs to be RESPECTED. I have always been comfortable in water so I want him to be comfortable in water. Teaching your kids not to swim at a young age is NEGLIGENT. Unless of course you don't feel comfortable in water as well. Just my opinion.
