bheard Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Sad, but unfortunately only one of the 7 children who drown each day in Thailand. The six others didn't make it to the news. http://swimsafe.org/drowning/drowning-data/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However being a surfer and a swimmer I know how fast it can happen. It's very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user82374298374 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 One of the most basic forms of safety for children is to teach them to swim when they're young - even if they don't enjoy it recreationally, they'll at least have a chance if they're unexpectedly dumped into the water.
