Deborah shares her story and Christopher's Story on our podcast. Drowning Is Preventable. You'll want to listen to this episode as she tells you what happened to her son that was completely preventable if she would have just known of the risks. However, we as parents believe that we do what is right. We would have never known or could even imagine that drowning is the leading cause of accidental death to children under the age of 5 and the 2nd leading cause for children under 15

Deborah Writes - "On a beautiful June afternoon, my son Christopher died in our backyard pool because his mask, like those used for snorkeling and scuba diving, flooded, changing my life forever. This tragedy could have easily been averted had I been aware of certain guidelines. "

"These six years of childhood came to an abrupt end on that June afternoon and became the worst memory of my life. Imagine buying an accessory to enhance your child’s experience in the water, and it becoming the very thing that brings about tragedy. "

"Christopher learned to swim with the aid of a mask when he was four years old. He was initially scared to put his face in the water, but with the mask covering his eyes and nose, he quickly learned to swim. He became confident in the water. The mask kept water out of his eyes and nose and gave him a view of the underwater world. I purchased Christopher’s mask at a local pool supply store. I found it in the toy section along with the all the diving toys. It was packaged as appropriate for youth and made of cheap materials. There were no safety warnings or instructions with the mask. The potential dangers of the mask, much less the need to ensure a proper fit, did not even cross my mind. I therefore assumed that the mask was safe to use and every time that Christopher swam, he wore his mask."

Brooke Bennett BB Swim School at https://bbswimschool.com

Brooke Bennett, owner and operator of Brooke Bennett Swim School (BBSS) We will be talking with Brooke in this episode about these 3 topics.

Learn to swim at a early ageSwimming can help and prepare you for other sports"Dry Drowning" The Myth

Let me tell you - Drowning is the leading cause of death to children ages 1-4 and it's the 2nd leading cause of children 5-14 years-old. 88% of drownings happen under adult supervision..

Brooke was a water baby and started at a very young age. Her talent and determination was fueled by her grandfather who built Bennett a swimming pool and taught her to swim, a role model she still dedicates every race to. At the young age of 12, Bennett qualified for her first junior national cut and went on to win her first gold medal in the 800 meter freestyle at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. That same year, the U.S. Olympic Committee named Bennett the “Sports Woman of the Year.” After ultimately adding 14 U.S. champion titles to her record, Bennett continued her success, winning two gold medals, one in the 800 meter freestyle and another in the 400 meter freestyle, in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. 

Brooke's goal is to teach every child to be water safe. To give the platform to learn proper skill and allow them to flourish as a competitive swimmer.

- Learn to swim at an early age- To develop the skills and strength in swimming that will help you in other sports.

Brooke utilized her passion for sports as a sports broadcaster for Bright House Sports Network in Florida for 5 years. Just before Bennett became a mom, she stepped away to redirect her passion for the water and training again. Bennett devotes her time to teach children how to swim and be water safe through the Brooke Bennett Swim School.

And that's why she so passionate about "BB Swim School" because she knows it can help you to Learn to swim at a early age and to learn proper skill and allow them to flourish as a competitive swimmer too!
