LEARNING TO SWIM

DEAR BELIZEAN PARENTS,

IT WOULD SEEM THAT THERE ARE TOO MANY DEATHS BY DROWNING IN BELIZE EVERY YEAR. AS ONCE AGAIN WE ARE ON SUMMER BREAK, KINDLY MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET YOUR CHILD TO LEARN TO SWIM. SOONER OR LATER YOU SEND THEM OFF TO SOME AREA FOR HOLIDAY WHERE THEY ARE CHARMED BY THE BEAUTY OF THE SEA AND THAT IS NOT BAD BUT, IT IS NOT GOOD IF THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM!

ASK AROUND. I AM SURE THERE ARE PERSONS OR PLACES WHERE YOU CAN TAKE YOUR CHILD TO GET THE TRAINING HE OR SHE NEEDS OR MAYBE YOU CNA TEACH THEM HOW TO SWIM. REMEMBER, THE SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. HELP THEM TO GROW AND HELP THEM TO LIVE.
