006- Near Drowning Incident: How do we prevent this again?

Welcome on everyone to the SwimAble.com livestream. We are your hosts, Jim Wood and Jeff Wood. And as I typically have a massive amount of energy when introducing our conversations, but today’s a really serious livestream that Jim and I wanted to do as one of our members sent over a situation about a near drowning incident that I believe one of her friends recently just encountered and they wanted our advice on the situation.

And so we wanted to take this opportunity to go through that so that we could share our input with the entire SwimAble community with the hopes of hopefully educating parents and avoiding situations like this in the future. Obviously when we ask the parents, everyone has a story or they know someone or they’ve been involved in a situation and they’re somewhat connected to a near drowning incident.

And so this definitely hits close to home. And so Jim and I are going to give our absolute best effort this morning and breaking down what you can do at home to prevent a situation like this. Jim, is there anything you want to add before we just hop on in?

Yeah, so Jeff and I are just going to be having a really candid conversation today and We want to be as sensitive as possible.

If this happened to you ever, or somebody close to you that, you know, and for this member who I believe it happened to her sister, this near drowning for her I think, I think her. Her niece is three and a half. She saw it in the letter, which we will, get to in a moment here. We want to be sensitive to that, that mom as well.

But at the same time, we need to have a real conversation and a very candid conversation so that we can put everything on the table so that you can learn from this experience and be armed with the information to have this not happen in your house with your kids. And so I want to start with that.

So we’re going to be as sensitive as we can be, but at the same time, we have to be real with what we’re saying too. And so that’s our goal for today. So what we’re going to do is just read through the note that this member left us and we’ll just read through it once all the way. And then we’ll take it line item by line item and Jeff and I are going to give you guys our thoughts based off of experience, research.

And yeah, I guess that that’ll be the plan. So I’m going to do my absolute best to keep all names out of this and try not to scroll at all. So we keep some anonymity here. But so let’s just read it through.

For anybody who doesn’t know, all of our members have direct access to Jeff. Through a members only Facebook group. And so if you are SwimAble kid member, you can join that group and get direct access to Jeff and I, and ask any of your questions related to drowning, water, safety, swimming, lessons, whatever.

And and we do videos like this for you. So here we go. I have a question. Comment, concern, not sure how to word this. So it might be long. Monday evening my three-and-a-half yea
