CW39: As the temperature rises, families across Texas will spend more time around water, whether boating, splashing or swimming.
It's important to remember to be safe. Last year, the Texas Department of of Family & Protective Services reported 75 child drownings in the state. There has already been 25 cases in 2016.
In the [report by CW39's Newsfix], Tracy Laman, the aquatics director of Houston Swim Club, provides safety tips.
13 month old Dylan is fighting for his life after he fell into a Sugar Land family pool.
The earlier children are introduced to swimming, the easier it is for them to master these lifesaving skills.
Ms. Tracy was awarded the Guiding Light Award at the 2019 United States Swim School Association Fall Conference.
