 I'm going to make you get out of the water. Oh, hi. I am your lifeguard, Pamela Alicia Anderson. And welcome to the Ford Award. You know, water safety is serious business. An unbelievably high percentage of people drown in Texas every year. And the thing is, all drownings are 100% preventable. I warned you guys, out of the water now. The message that we get out, try to push out, is two seconds is too long to turn your back on a child in water. So we lose our 1 to 4-year-olds to our backyard swimming pools. That's 60% of the population that is admitted into Cook Children's Medical Center are 1 to 4-year-olds who have drowned in the backyard swimming pools. That is all about adult education and adult awareness. So what we do is, no child comes to our program unless they bring an adult. So for the 30 minutes that a child is in the water, the caregivers will spend 30 minutes with content experts that discuss CPR. They learn CPR. They hear from a mom who has experienced loss. They hear from a Corps of Engineers about open water safety. And we put together family emergency action plans for whenever they are around water. Fort Worth Drowning Prevention Coalition moves around the Fort Worth area so that they can target at-risk communities and provide water safety lessons. So we offer to the community no-to-low-cost drowning prevention lessons designed to help non-swimmers to equip them if they were to fall into water that they would be able to self-rescue. Drowning is silent. It's extremely important to get this information out to the parents to know what to look for. Because anytime I have a class of parents together, the first thing I always ask them is, when you picture someone drowning in your mind, what do you see? And inevitably, they always say, well, splashing and screaming and hollering and stuff like that. I said, well, in the movies, yes. But in real life, no, drowning is very silent. So the parents have to be extremely vigilant on watching those kids in the water and know what to look for. Visit Fort Worth Drowning Prevention Coalition's website for more information. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For a listing of more events and city meetings, you always can check the calendar at the city's website.
