The tragic death of a United States open water swimmer on 25 October 2010 should act as a stark reminder for all that there is no such thing as drown proofing your children, as even elite athletes who are among the strongest swimmers in the world can drown.
This death also demonstrates the importance of being aware of the conditions in which you and your children are swimming and the need for constant supervision of people in the water. The conditions in which you are swimming can change your capabilities to maintain your safety and those of your children.
