It doesn’t take minutes.
It takes moments.

⚠️ Drowning is faster than you think.

Signs of Drowning:
🤐 Silent – little or no splashing, may not call for help
👐 Flailing arms – pushing down or out to stay afloat
😨 Head low in water – mouth at water level
😰 Struggling to breathe – gasping, bobbing up and down
🏊 Vertical body – upright, not kicking legs effectively
😶 Unable to call out – too focused on survival
⏱️ Quick onset – can happen in 20–60 seconds

If you’re looking for a pavilion rental there’s a playground, ballfield, lots of space to run and if it’s a warmer day take your lifevest and water shoes to splash & cool off in the creek.

I'm sharing this with the intention of raising awareness and promoting prevention, rather than inviting negative comments. Instead, I'd like to encourage you to consider the possibility of such an incident occurring within your own family and think about ways to protect and prevent drowning accidents. It's unrealistic to expect constant supervision of children 24/7, as it's humanly impossible to be vigilant every moment. Consider what your kids might be doing when you're occupied with household chores, taking a phone call, or attending a virtual meeting. Even with swimming skills, accidents can still happen, regardless of age, skill level, or supervision. Drowning can occur in mere seconds and in any amount of water. With this in mind, what safety measures do you have in place to protect your loved ones?

Two toddler sisters were rushed to the hospital by helicopter after being discovered in their family's pool, investigators said.

Levi Davidson and Cheri Stoner from Peace 4 Peyton Water Safety and Awareness presented a donation of an automated external defibrillator to the Scotland Youth League tonight at their monthly meeting. Pictured are Nick Duke, President of the SYL, Gary Smith Sr, President of the SCA, and Cheri Stoner. Unfortunately, Levi Davidson was unavailable to attend this evening. The Scotland Youth League and Scotland Community Association are deeply grateful for this generous donation. Notably, today would have been Cheri’s son Peyton’s 17th birthday, making this donation particularly significant.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who supported our event this past weekend. Despite a few unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, others demonstrated exceptional teamwork in helping to resolve the issues. I’m deeply grateful to have had the support and a great team; thank you all so much. I was pleased to see numerous smiling faces and, despite the rain, we still enjoyed the day. I did not take any pictures after the kids event so if you have any please share.
Thank you all for showing up.

The comments I have read under these news articles are heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹 I can’t begin to express how sad it is to know how many uneducated people there are. Don’t be one of them, accidents happen & can happen to any family Drowning doesn’t discriminate & it doesn’t mean parents who have lost their child to drowning were irresponsible.
IF YOU CANT SAY NOTHING NICE DONT SAY NOTHING AT ALL❣️

Consumers should contact Bestway, Intex or Polygroup to request a repair kit. In the interim consumers should ensure that children cannot access the pool unattended or, alternatively, drain the pool until the repair can be installed.
