    The Boys & Girls Clubs swim camp on Chicago’s west side is one of ten across the country this year and is inspired by one family`s water tragedy.

    6-year-old Zachary Cohn of Connecticut drowned in 2007 after getting caught in a pool drain.

    He is the namesake for the Zac Foundation which was started by his parents who are now partnering with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America to teach kids not only how to swim, but to avoid danger.

    Karen and Brian Cohn, a Chicagoland native has also written a children’s book in Zac’s memory, “The Polar Bear Who Couldn’t, Wouldn’t Swim.”

    An unidentified 54-year-old man in Crossville, Tennessee was robbed while he was distracted by a woman swimming nude in his backyard pool on Saturday.

    According to CNHI News, a woman and a man approached the victim’s home, but the woman sent her male accomplice away to get some cigarettes. The woman then asked the victim if she could swim naked in his pool, which he agreed to.

    The victim and the woman spent 20 minutes in his backyard while she skinny dipped. However, her male friend never returned with the cigarettes because he was inside robbing the man’s house, say police.

    Amaral says he was tricked by his own neighbors
