[BlindTlk] Swimmers

[Judy Jones]

Well, my first thought is that expert swimmers could be the ones most in the
water, therefore, more than likely to drown just because of the stats, just
guessing at that one though.

I did take the initial life saving course, and I did resume swimming in
middle-school during the summers, but as I got busier in high school, gave
it up.  Swimming wasn't my favorite either, because, although I like being
in the water, I get cold easy in the water, too, so never end up staying in
for very long unless it is a very warm water situation.

Over in Hawaii, I never had much problem staying in that water, and in
Florida, too, easy enough.

Here in the northwest, the Pacific is freezing!

If you swim without worrying, sooner rather than later you drown.
Expert swimmers drown most frequently.  Remember that and you will increase
your survival odds.
I had much instruction in swimming and ended up learning more while becoming
a certified Scuba Diver.  My instruction started early in life too.
Some of it was at Summer Camps.
Competent lifeguarding gets done with pools without chairs for lifeguards.
That's because lifeguards in those swimming situations are walking around
the pools and if anything happens they'll be in the water quickly to handle
the emergency.
