The Kids Aren’t Alright

I just read that drowning is the number one cause of death for children under 5 in Arizona. That is shocking and upsetting. Last year, there were 26 fatalities in Arizona alone from drowning. If you follow me on Twitter, you may have seen me mention ISR in my updates. Both of my kids went through this program, and while expensive, at the ages of 2 1/2 and 1 respectively, Abbie and Brooklyn could swim. It is worth the money to know that if they fell in the water, they would have a good chance at survival. ISR teaches kids not only to swim in their suits, but also in their clothes, most notable winter clothes with shoes on. It is tremendous to witness the learning process for kids in this program. Here is Brooklyn, now 1 1/2, practicing her floating skills in our local pool.
