BEAVERCREEK, Ohio (WDTN) – As pool season gets underway, there is concern about an increased risk of drowning.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, most child drownings take place at home during the summer.
As families emerge from quarantine and visit pools and other bodies of water, Aqua-Tots wants to make sure your kids are prepared. The school hopes to equip children with the essential skills to make them safe and comfortable around water.
"We're putting cell phones away and making our primary focus be the children in the water, setting up barriers around our home pools, and taking swim lessons to prepare for water safety," said Brittany Haley, General Manager of Aqua-Tots Beavercreek.
Drownings are the leading cause of unintentional death among children ages 1 to 4.

WAYNE, NJ — With both James W. Roe Memorial Pool and Captain Michael Kilroy Memorial Park open daily beginning this week, swimming in Wayne Township has started for the summer, but it will look different this year. The coronavirus pandemic has delayed the opening of public and private swimming pools across the state, and now as these facilities begin to reopen, it will be with a new set of rules and regulations. Wayne Township has posted the guidelines on their website, and they include everything from pool access to cleaning and disinfecting to what to do if lightning strikes during pool hours.

Guests will form a single file line, adhering to socially distanced floor markings. The pool is members only until further notice, meaning guests will not be granted entry. Guests must maintain six-feet of distance from each other on the pool d...
A Te Puke boy will be tackling a massive swimming goal in order to raise funds for his old primary school. The Otamarakau School's Surf Fishing Competition is its main annual fundraising event. It usually raises about $15,000 annually for this small rural school which has a roll of 80. The fundraiser helps to subsidise the many activities and resources that the Ministry of Education's budget does not cover. The school decided to cancel its annual event in light of Covid-19 and restrictions around mass gatherings, as it drew about 400-600 fishermen from across New Zealand. Quinn Boyle, a 14-year-old from Otamarakau, now attends Hamilton Boys' High School as a boarder but has strong ties to the school and the community. He approached the school and asked if he could fundraise for them, because he knew the loss of revenue from the fishing competition would have an impact. As an open water swimmer, Quinn had decided to swim the length of Lake Taupō, 40.2km, as a ...
