It can happen in a matter of seconds. Drowning is among the leading cause of young lives being lost across the country.
Springfield Aquatic Director Joe Federico urges parents to make certain their children learn how to swim and how to encounter the dangers they face when they go into the water. Also, how to sensibly overcome those fears.

Florida Man Captures Stunning Photos After Coming Face to Face With Bull Shark
A Florida man is speaking out after he unexpectedly came face-to-face with a bull shark.
Freediver Captain John Moore and his crew were able to snap a few jaw-dropping photos of the predator after they met while spearfishing off of Florida’s east coast.
“She was kind of unique in that she came powering right up through the other bulls, she was super dominant, sort of right in the forefront of everything,†Moore explained. “She was swimming right up to my mask, just kind of sizing up what was going on out there and she was just so impressive.â€

Tokyo Doctors Call for Cancellation of Olympic Games Due to COVID-19
A top medical organization has thrown its weight behind calls to cancel the Tokyo Olympics saying hospitals are already overwhelmed as the country battles a spike in coronavirus infections less than three months from the start of the Games.
The Tokyo Medical Practitioners Association representing about 6,000 primary care doctors said hospitals in the Games host city “have their hands full and have almost no spare capacity” amid a surge in infections.
“We strongly request that the authorities convince the IOC (International Olympic Committee) that holding the Olympics is difficult and obtain its decision to cancel the Games,” the association said in a May 14 open letter to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga which was posted to its website on Monday.
A jump in infections has stoked alarm amid a shortage of medical staff and hospital beds in some areas of the Japanese capital, promoting the government to extend a third state of emergency in Tokyo and several other prefectures until May 31.
Doctors would soon face the added difficulty of dealing with heat exhaustion patients during the summer months and if the Olympics contributed to a rise in deaths “Japan will bear the maximum responsibility”, it added.
