Pool Safety Tips

Friday June 23, 2006
Now that summer is fully upon us - it's hot out there - you may be thinking about getting into the pool. That refreshing dip can be invigorating.

It can also be dangerous. On June 18, a three-year-old in Texas was found in a pool, unconscious. Two days later, he died.
