When summer comes around, millions around the world go swimming in oceans and lakes. Is it safe?
May is national water safety month and one of the best ways to stay safe around water is learning how to swim. Jumping into the deep end may not seem like a good idea for an infant, but with parent-child swim classes, an early start is key.
