Water Safety

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather and the pool facilities. I wanted to remind everyone to please help watch out for children at the pool. I have been reading articles on drownings and most children drown right in front of adults. The signs are not what people think. The children rarely make a sound and are usually vertical trying to get their nose to the surface. Their throat is seizuring  and they struggle to get a sound out. It looks like they are playing.
I have heard of a few people at the pool telling their kids to leave them alone while they are sun bathing or swimming. Drowning takes seconds.
Please play safely and watch the children.
