http://mariovittone.com/2010/05/154/ Apparently when I was a toddler, I almost drowned on a family vacation to Jamaica (I don't remember any of this). My older brother suddenly noticed I was missing, and when he turned around he saw me underwater and standing on the ocean floor on my tippy toes with outstretched hands. His only tipoff was that there was complete silence, otherwise I would've drowned within the next minute, no one else was aware that anything was amiss. Your stories?  | ||

One day just a couple minutes after we let the kids in I looked over the edge of the pool and saw a little girl looking just as that article describes. Floating a little under the water looking up at me. I just reached down and offered her my arm and pulled her to the side of the pool. I told her to stay where she could touch and myself and the other guards just kept an eye on her. She was fine. She had come swimming with her slightly older sister who I guess just didn't pay enough attention. But it got me thinking how easily she could have died there less that a foot from the edge of the pool. Water is a scary force, be careful. | ||

ets play "find the source of internet hostility!" I said: Learn to swim You assumed: I was somehow insulting you or others. please give me the benefit of the doubt here. I maintain that learning to swim is an excellent way to prevent drowning. it is an exellent way to prevent drowning but lets take my case. my friend who swims fine was swimming after a frisbee thats far away and when he gets to it hes tired so while reaching for it he accidently swallows water and he goes under and no one herd him slip under it can be that fast | ||
