Hellobee Boards

This is an excellent article. I almost drowned when I was young, and it happened just like that. My parents were literally a stones throw away with their backs to me, while I bobbed up and down in the water, not able to call out. If it hadn't been for a man who just happened to look up and realized what was happening... well I probably wouldn't be typing on Hellobee today, that's for sure!

oh my goodness. So scary. Thanks for the article! My DD starts swim lessons next week! @Pepper: Thank goodness for that man! Wow.

This is a really food article-- I had no idea! I think the most important line was that last one; And parents – children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

I grew up near a beach, and rip currents were such a big deal that a healthy fear of water was severely beat into my brain!! These articles are so scary, but SO necessary

Wow, so scary. Thank you for posting this!
