Our Water Safety Week continues today with a focus on keeping young kids safe around the swimming pool. As JohnBDias explains, what a child wears in the water matters.
In 2018, just one month shy of turning 3 years old, Monaster's daughter, Galaxy, drowned in an accident, while a family member was playing with her in a Long Island backyard pool. That family member slipped, and Galaxy fell out of her hands.
"Because the regular diaper is so heavy, it sunk Galaxy to the 9-foot bottom part of the pool," Monaster said."We wish we had known these things, before," said Monaster."Because if we knew before, Galaxy would still be here."Water Safety Week: Black children more likely to drown due to inequities in learning to swim"My aunt said, 'Oh, her light was too bright for this world,'" said Jamie Birkmier, Galaxy's grandmother.
