The Importance of Swim Lessons

Well he did it. He fell in. Tonight, we were sitting in our new grassy area in our backyard and Truman was playing about two feet away on the concrete when he leaned too far over and fell in the hot tub. We jumped up and fished him out immediately. He didn't even cough or seem phased by the misadventure. He did exactly what they taught him at Emler Swim Center last summer: held his breath and didn't panic.

We were right there, but he got away from us. It really goes to show the importance of never leaving your child near a pool unattended. We never have, and we definitely never will until he is much older and has passed all his lifeguarding courses. But just to be safe, guess who will be calling Emler tomorrow and paying tuition for this summer's classes?
