[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very sad but a 3 year old should have been given swim lessons w/ a family who has a pool at their house.[/quote]
Seems like a few pps here have all sorts of insights about this tragedy, the pool’s safety features, the kids’ swimming abilities, the parenting etc. How do you all know the non-public inside info? [/quote]

@and, FWIW, I know all kinds of adults who have CPR training that wouldn’t know what to do in an emergency.

Oh, and a huge number of people who know how to swim actually drown.. 25% of drowning victims were swimmers. https://www.ilsf.org/drowning-facts-and-figures/[/quote]

+1  I've seen stories about Navy Seals who have drowned.  It can happen in an instant. All of you smug parents/nannies who are so sure no tragedy could ever befall your child because you have such superior parenting skills are living in a dream world.[/quote]

So true.  I was sitting on the edge of the baby pool once, with my head turned to put sunblock on my older DD's shoulders, who was sitting beside me.  In those seconds, my younger DS slipped and was just laying under the water, not bothering to try and get up.  Maybe he was so surprised it didn't occur to him?  It really is seconds and it's not even being distracted by something you shouldn't be doing, like getting on your phone.  It can be anything.

You can say it won't happen to you [/quote]
