Especially infants. I have had your experience and seen it numerous times...gross is the right word.

They are persistent coughing, shortness of breath and pain in the chest. You also should be aware of extreme lethargy or extreme change in behavior.<BR/>There is always a fine line when it comes to swimming. Because I live in Florida (and there are pools and bodies of water everywhere), I believe the danger in traditional drowning is so high that swimming lessons is a necessity. <BR/>Thank you for the reminder and caution. I will continue to be watching for things in that arena.Cassie - Homeschooling Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604648403487773900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914171276894814434.post-21843358589937591442008-08-04T01:16:00.000-04:002008-08-04T01:16:00.000-04:00Just an FYI- if your nephew seriously swallows a L...Just an FYI- if your nephew seriously swallows a LOT of water, it can be VERY dangerous. We had a local boy die of "secondary drowning" this summer. Basically, he swallowed a bunch of water at the city pool, but nothing to be alarmed about. The water stayed in his lungs and he died in his sleep that night. I guess it's not that uncommon but I had never heard of it. Not trying to bring down your funny post, I'm just scared to death of this happening.Living Frugal & Loving Ithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310207099289118808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914171276894814434.post-48940099899531990532008-08-03T20:36:00.000-04:002008-08-03T20:36:00.000-04:00Oh my... when my kids asked me today if they could...Oh my... when my kids asked me today if they could go swimming after lunch, I immediately had a flashback to your blog and said, "you have to wait for 30min."
