I was young and skinny and looked good in a speedo. Those days are over.
I did save one child. He was swimming for the first time of the season and went off the diving board. He forget how to swim and panicked.
We also had one child who died at a local pool. He stuck his hand down a drain and got stuck.
What bugs me the most is how relaxed people are with their kids around their own pools. Things like they don't have a locked gate from the pool to the house. Or at parties no one is paying attention to the kids in the pool.
