Summer will be here soon, time for kids and parents alike to head to the beach or pool for some family fun. But fun can turn to tragedy if we don’t have the knowledge and skills to keep our children safe and teach them how to keep themselves safe. This week’s Mom Enough guest, Jon Foss, has taught countless children water safety, and he’s developed innovative approaches now used by teachers across the country. You may be surprised by some of his strategies that break with traditional swim instruction, but you will be glad you listened!
