Sign Your Kids Up For Swim Lessons This Summer I don't really remember a time in my life that I couldn't swim. Oh, wait yes I can. It was that moment when I was about four years old and I was on a house boat with my family. I was jumping from side to side over the stairwell. My next memory was falling in. I didn't know how to swim. I remember gasping for air as my brother's rushed to get family to help. Get our free mobile app I then remember being pulled out of the water and being spanked. Back then kids we were spanked. I scared my family. I was jumping when I shouldn't. I also wasn't being watched. It wasn't long after that I took swim lessons. I tell that story because you know what? It is easy for a kid to get away unnoticed and fall in the water. If they are not equipped with the skills to swim it could turn out bad. Hey, I could have not been here to give that warning.
