With the Texas heat, everyone is looking to head to the pool or the beach.
A swimming coach with 'The Swim Clinic' shares information on how you can prevent drownings in your home.With the hot temperatures, a hot spot is going to the swimming pool or beach, which can be more dangerous than you think for your children. Especially the little ones.
According to Safe Kids Greater Houston, which is led by Texas Children’s Hospital, drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death among children between the ages of 1 and 4. In 2020, Texas reported having 80 drownings. Almost 80% of these incidents happened to children 4-years-old and younger. The statistics are scary, and can be 100% prevented, which is why one local mom is leaving her career to keep kids safe full time."I had several of my friends asking if I would teach their kids to swim. I was like yeah, let’s go. I had a little extra time, and then I started getting referrals and all these people messaging me, and I started to realize there are a lot of kids that can't swim," said Nickerson.
"The first thing we learned is doing monkey crawls against the wall and finding a stair. She was able to do that, so that eased my mom's brain a little bit and helped me enjoy the pool and stay safe," said Kliment. "When your kid is in swim lessons, almost always we are going out of their comfort zone. The best way to get them out of their comfort zone is to make it fun, give positive reinforcement, and just keep encouraging," said Nickerson.
