It’s summertime, and the perfect time to hit the pool, or in Colorado even a lake or reservoir. There’s nothing better than a relaxing dip in the cool water on a hot summer’s day. However, did you know that everyday 10 people die from unintentional drowning? Drowning in fact ranks fifth among the leading causes of unintentional injury death in the U.S. Additionally, about 1 in 5 people who die from drowning are children ages 14 and younger, and for children in this age group drowning is the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury death. When you are out enjoying recreational water activities it’s important to be aware of all important safety measures. Sadly, it can take only 20-60 seconds before a drowning victim sinks underwater.

Honestly ever since I was two years old I have been in water, and learned how to swim at around three. I had not learned anything about swimming in Wheeling High School and I can prove that I did not benefit from the swimming sessions. I had already known survival techniques such as not panicking in water and floating on my back to save energy. I already had common sense of not using drugs because I could drown. I had known that many college students go to Lake Michigan at night and die because they can't see or are drunk. To be honest I knew all of these rules but feel maybe Wheeling high school had re-emphasized all of them. I will try to use these techniques at my pool in Florida and continue to teach others how to swim.
Canadians love being near the water. Swimming, boating, water skiing, fishing and various other watersports are common forms of entertainment for Canadians, but not everyone who participates is fully prepared for their water fun. The 2016 Ontario Drowning Report states that 32% of drownings happen while swimming, and 42% of those drownings are caused by the victim not being able to swim. Swimming is an essential skill, and every Canadian should learn how to do it. Learning to swim is easy, can save your life or someone else’s, and can have many health benefits!
A lot of things interested me. All the statistics were really helpful in helping me understand the lead causes of deaths and crashes. I learned that the leading cause of the teens death was teens running off the road. I thought that the leading cause was going to be distracted driving because a lot of teens are always on their cell phones texting or changing music. I also didnt know that the leading causes of crashes was following another driver too closely. I also thought that the distracting would be higher on the list but it wasnt as I expected. I also didn't know that the leading cause of death to 15-20 year olds was driving fatalities. I learned that you have a much greater chance of surviving a crash and not getting hurt as much if you
After this incident, I was presented with three options. The first option was to speak firmly to him about staying away from pools so it would make a big impression. The second option was to resolve to having Jason wear a safety vest whenever he is around pools. The third option was to decide to enroll Jason in toddler swimming lessons, which emphasize safety, holding your breath, swimming to the edge of the pool, and holding on. I chose the third option. I felt it necessary to sign him up for toddler swimming lessons. Studies show that registering your child in a swimming class to learn how to swim helps reduces the risk of childhood
Many words have been exchanged between Fortunato and Montresor many of which were insults. As the conversations went on the insults continued digging more and more at Montresor.

As I jumped into the water, I only had one thing on my mind: saving the victim. As I swam towards her I saw her head slip under. I called for a backboard before I dove beneath the surface to bring her head above the water. I

Rape is an atrocious crime where rapists are rightfully despised. There are several severe laws against rape and sexual assault. The media, leftist politicians, and feminists say that 1 in 5 women will get raped in their four-year college career. While rape has been a serious problem for decades, there is certainly no evidence that there is a national rape epidemic, or that rape or sexual assault is the social norm in this age. Rape rates, in fact, have been on a decline for the past century. The 1 in 5 number is not true.
The next part of the training turned out to be the toughest. We were required to dive ten feet to the bottom of the pool and retrieve a ten pound weight. Once the weight was brought to the surface we were supposed to tread water for two minutes while keeping the weight above the water line. This appeared to be simple so I dived in, expecting an easy time. I had no trouble getting the weight to the surface and proceeded to tread water with a feeling of undoubtable success. But once again my anti-floating physical quality began to take effect. At one minute and thirty seconds I began to sink and within the next fifteen seconds my head was submerged and I was fighting for air. The water from the pool began flowing into my mouth with each desperate grasp for air; it felt as if an ocean were draining into my body. I remember hearing from under the water the instructor's muffled voice counting down the last ten seconds of the exercise. When it was all over I slowly made my way back to the pool's edge where I was informed by the two young girls that they had no difficulty
