Swim safety.
On a hot summer afternoon in July, my friend’s 8-year-old son Cody nearly drowned in a backyard swimming pool. There were two moms supervising and only one other family in the water. It was quiet and calm, and those watching him thought he was just trying to see how long he could hold his breath. When they realized it wasn’t a game and pulled him out, he was unconscious and his lips were blue. Both moms started CPR and the child was coughing up blood by the time the paramedics arrived less than 10 minutes later.
