Stories like this really bother me. When my child was 4 years old, I took him to the YMCA for a swimming class. We all had to sit on the pool's edge waiting for the instructors to come over to our groups. It was an outside pool and other moms were chatting away. We all sat on both sides of the pool.To my horror, I watched a small child just slip off the edge of the pool across from me and slide into the water without a splash. The child just went to the bottom of the pool and didn't move. No one even noticed he was in the water. The next thing that I knew I was screaming and pointing and a life guard pulled the child out of the water. I was told to calm down that no one got hurt. That still bothers me to this day. I remember how that child was just on the bottom of the pool not moving while life continued on the surface. These were the days before phones. Just Moms chatting away and not paying attention. Several years later, I had a student in my first grade class. Then I find out,his sibling drowns over the weekend during a packed pool party. No one noticed the 2 year old was gone..let alone on the bottom of the pool. Poor little Beau!!The Latest: Seven-year-old-boy found dead in Lake Corpus Christi waters
So easily these little kids can slip off and drown without anyone hearing or noticing a thing!
I’ve witnessed this same type scenario twice. Both times the adult literally leaned over the side of the pool, yanked the kid up by their hair!! I was the one flipping out too!!!Stories like this really bother me. When my child was 4 years old, I took him to the YMCA for a swimming class.

I would have been freaking out! Smart idea to teach kids to swim when they're young IMO. All kids are fascinated by water and naturally drawn to it.Stories like this really bother me.

Smart move ITA can you imagine trying to manage triplets in swim classes? Hah! You really have to keep your eyes on them at all times.I’ve witnessed this same type scenario twice. Both times the adult literally leaned over the side of the pool, yanked the kid up by their hair!! I was the one flipping out too!!!
During my daughters group pool lessons the parents of triplets brought a friend so each toddler had an adult. Sure enough, one little boy slipped under water but was caught immediately. Best parenting move ever.
