  • The Judah Brown Project hopes to save lives by offering swim lesson scholarships

    Today, much of Texas feels like temperatures are in the triple digits.

    Between the humidity and the blazing sun, a lot of people are finding relief in the swimming pool.

    The Judah Brown Project is working to make the pool as safe as possible.

    Judah Brown’s mom, Christi, understands the risks. At 3 years old, Judah was fearless in floaties and a water baby at heart. The Tomball toddler loved to swim. In September 2016, after he had slipped off his floaties to spend time with his family at a barbecue, Judah ended up sneaking back into the pool.

    He drowned.

    “I think I get my strength from seeing these kids not knowing what do in the water to being able to be fully capable of saving themselves,” said Christi Brown.

    The Browns are using their son’s memory to drive home their mission. The Judah Brown Project, a non-profit organization, offers training for CPR and survival swim.

    Put away your favorite swimsuit and take the air out of your new pool float, because summer is cancelled.

    I know what you’re thinking: “What?! Why? Summer hasn’t even started yet! There’s so much left to do! I have camping trips to take! Swimming holes to dive in! Small towns to visit! Do we really have to skip right to autumn?”

    And the answer is yes. Yes, we do.

    Watch this video and you’ll understand why.

  • Want to swim in the iconic Hearst Castle pools? Here’s how you can — but it’ll cost you

    Have you ever dreamed of being a guest at the lavish hilltop San Simeon estate of media magnate William Randolph Hearst, including swimming in those iconic pools?

    Members of The Foundation at Hearst Castle will have opportunities to experience that atmosphere and history starting up close and personal in special fundraising events starting in July. That includes swimming in the Neptune Pool on four selected dates this year, and on another two nights, swimming in the indoor Roman Pool.

    Food, wine, music and historic atmosphere will be provided. The massive, nearly 90-year-old Neptune Pool, constructed of Vermont marble in various iterations during the mid-1920s, is probably the most frequently photographed site on the estate. But the popularity of the indoor Roman Pool would be close behind, with its marble sculptures, iconic diving platform and sparkling floor-to-ceiling cobalt-and-gold tile.

    Upcoming Neptune Pool swims are set for July 6, Aug. 3, Aug. 24 and Sept. 21. Roman Pool swims will be July 20 and Oct. 19. A maximum of 40 tickets will be sold for each of the Neptune Pool events; 20 tickets will be available for each Roman Pool swim.

    Teaching your toddlers basic swim skills can be a lifesaving decision.

    Olympic champion and local swim instructor  said parents can start swim lessons with  children as young as the age of one.

    “The American Pediatric Association says starting your children in lessons early can significantly reduce their risk of drowning,” Bennett explained to FOX 13.
