Greg:

Mom took me to the "Y" about the time I started to walk to teach me to swim. Dad never learned, and almost drowned when he was a kid. I don't think teaching your kids to swim will be an issue, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

I could relate a couple of stories about going swimming thru the ice when I was younger during trapping season, and there was one time that I would have been dead. That one time that I didn't go thru, but I seriously doubt that my body would have been found for months, if at all, if I hadn't stopped and turned around. Mom & Dad wouldn't have even known where to start looking.

I just hope that this experience doesn't leave him with a fear of the water.

You were there to save him, and while it was a terrible lesson, I'll bet it was a lesson learned that you won't ever forget. I'm sure that you will be sharing it with some clients in the future, and I'd lay money on it saving another kids life or multiple kids at some point in the future.
