Usely Michel, a 13-year-old who couldnรขโฌโขt swim, got saved last month at a Deerfield Beach pool by Angel Rivera, an 11-year-old who could. A 14-year-old in Cooper City got revived by CPR Sunday after a house pool nearly claimed his life.
Thatรขโฌโขs why, last Wednesday, the stands surrounding Overtownรขโฌโขs Gibson Park Pool held 50 kids ready for the first of free swim lessons until the end of July, courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of Biscayne Bay. Drowning seasonรขโฌโขs upon us again.
รขโฌลWeรขโฌโขre here because thereรขโฌโขs so much water to have fun in all over South Florida,รขโฌย William Reich, former Biscayne Bay Kiwanis Club president, told the kids. รขโฌลUnless you have the skills you need to get in the water and be safe, youรขโฌโขre not going to be able to take advantage of that. Thatรขโฌโขs why youรขโฌโขre here today. And youรขโฌโขre going to be here all this week, all this month and all summer.รขโฌย
