When he was a toddler, my mother-in-law definitely kept my husband in a life jacket. Underneath he had a harness with the rope tied to her waist.

No idea if that's a thing that should be done now or if there might be special equipment, but it sounded safe. He had a tendency to go to the side and try to jump off without anyone noticing

If you are moving slowly throughout the water with slow strokes, you will avoid injury. Try a flutter kick, breast stroke, or perhaps try an Aquafit or Aqua exercise class. Swimming can be high intensity, but the impact on the joints and to the body is low thanks to water.

Thank you for your work in the community to bring drowning awareness to the forefront. As a retired lifeguard, I am serious about water safety.

Cullen, 2 questions... am I meant to submerge my head fully under water for breast stroke? I don't currently. I submerge to half of my eyes.

And, do you have an ear plug brand you recommend? I'm working on my front crawl but I get so much water in my ears.
