Pennsylvania Mom Warns Parents Swimming Pool Game Caused Children’s ‘Freak’ Drownings | FOX News
A Philadelphia mother’s loss of two of her children, who drowned in a pool over Memorial Day weekend, highlights the danger of breath-holding games in the water – even when played by children who are typically strong swimmers.
Early last month, Brittney McWhite made the decision to pull 14-year-old Wadale and 11-year-old London Marie off life support.
A week earlier, all was well in McWhite’s household, and she and her six children visited their aunt’s house for a Memorial Day cookout in New Jersey, Fox 29 reported.
“When we got there, I was like, ‘OK, I’ll help set up the food.’ Kids were playing in the pool. They were playing a game where you go down, Marco Polo, and you hold your breath,” McWhite told Fox News Digital.

When I ask them to describe the dynamic between them, Daniel immediately replies: “We’re obviously best friends.”
