Some of my Facebook people I follow are often a wealth of information. Nicole Mitchell, for instance, has stuff on weather chasing airplanes (Hurricane Hunters) and Minnesota weather. That is the Nicole Mitchell who was on the Weather Channel but got into some kind of legal dispute and left to go to law school. She is a weather person now up in Minnesota.

This is so true..at a pool party my daughter recently attended, a small child almost drowned right next to her father in the pool. She didn't utter a sound, just splashed frantically. Several people, including her father, thought she was just playing around until someone suddenly realized that she was in distress. Her dad pulled her out, and she was fine, but it was especially traumatic for everyone there. It was a group of Coast Guard rescue swimmers with their families.

I used to teach boating safety when I was in Maine and this article was one I read to the class (with the author's permission). As a former lifeguard with two saves, I thought using the classroom time to read this was very important. The textbook did a pretty poor job of covering how to identify who was in trouble.

Thanks Tal. While working as a lifeguard a couple summers in college I pulled a few children out. They were just quietly not coming up for air. Mothers obliviously sunning themselves.
