 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Summer is here in Fort Worth while Forest Park and Marine Park Pool opened on Memorial Day weekend. Swimming pools are so much fun, but we must not forget that Texas leads the nation in pool drownings. The majority of our pool drownings are in our young children who don't know how to swim. Unfortunately, there's a lack of parental supervision around the pool and it's very important if a child was to fall into water that they would be able to get themselves out or at least be able to float and yell for help. Fort Worth Drowning Prevention Coalition holds eight 30 minute classes around the city to teach children and adults how to be safe in and around water. We've already had a week of classes in which they become comfortable in the water and they've learned to go from a stomach float flip over to their back so that if they weren't to fall into water then they could cry out for help. And this week now we're focusing on treading water and safely navigating ten yards and also if they fell away from the edge of the pool could they safely get themselves back to the side of the pool so the lessons are designed totally around self rescue. While the kids are in the pool we take the parents off to another area and we've got various instructors that teach the parents about how to actually supervise your children, how to do CPR, we've had parents that have had a child that they lost from a drowning, we had a parent come talk to them that had a near drowning episode. I'm trying to give them as many tools to utilize to make sure that themselves and their children and loved ones stay safe. Two seconds is too long to turn your back on a child in water. For mantra this year has become yell go tell. If you see someone in a swimming pool yell go tell. So it's important for parents to train their children to yell go tell. It is imperative that parents learn CPR. That is the difference between life and death. We want everybody to understand that if you see somebody in trouble unless you have been specifically trained in how to rescue someone that is drowning for kids we tell them we want them to yell go tell and if it's an adult we want the adults to reach, throw but don't go in after them. Fort Worth Drowning Prevention Coalition is always looking for volunteers, corporate sponsorships, donations and grant opportunities.
