I made sure my Sons were able to swim because I almost drowned as a kid. Their instructor is an older black man that’s been a swim instructor for the past 30 years. He has a wealth management firm with his Son as his main source of income but I’m literally blessed to have him with in 3 miles of me and classes open. There’s even a local black business man that’s been fairly successful that has started to pay for lessons for disadvantaged kids in the neighborhood :salute:

My youngest son’s fine ass swim teacher is even in the video.

RIP to that baby.

We took our son to swimming lessons at the Y and it was mandatory for a parent to be in the water with their child. They also had a lifeguard on duty.
Same here, my son is on his second round and all the parents are on the sideline watching and a lifeguard.

I don’t know what I would do but I would make it my life mission to punish those responsible.

Rest In Peace little one and I hope the family finds strength for the sake of their other kids.

Somebody gotta go
Yea. My daughter is my everything. I’d lose it. My pops lost his daughter, my sister, at a young age and I showed him this story, and he said the same thing as me. Losing your child is possibly one of the worst things a parent has to go through, as I’ve seen it deteriorate my father.

Yea, she’d have to go, and I don’t know if I could live on knowing I allowed that to happen on my watch.

My wife and I are in the waiting area and can watch through the glass at our daughters swim lessons. Ain’t no way in hell we are just leaving her alone without being able to see her at least. Also, no way I’m leaving that building without someone’s head.

I understand the no parents allowed cuz kids might act differently with parents there and such.
HOWEVER THERE WAS NO OTHER ADULTS THERE NOT EVEN A LIFEGUARD WHO’S ONLY JOB SHOULD BE STAYING UP ON THAT CHAIR WATCHING THE POOL

THAT INSTRUCTOR A REAL c*nt IF SHE WAS DOING ALL THAT shyt ON HER OWN LIKE YA COMPANY CANT HIRE A LIFEGUARD TO STAY THERE WHICH SHOULD BE THE NORM?!? ESPECIALLY IF THAT c*nt HAD MORE THAN 3-4 KIDS THERE AT THE TIME?!

Wifey been talking about when we get kids they should get swimming lessons but ain’t no way they getting any if there isn’t an additional adult there specifically a lifeguard
Smfh

Man fukk all that! The kid was a toddler! Parents should ALWAYS be at!

Brehs, you need to learn how to swim. I’ve met countless other black adults who can’t swim, and are afraid to learn. I learned at camp when I was 7. My mom put us in camp every summer, because she worked, and didn’t want us on the streets. We were taught by lifeguards, and there were always two lifeguards teaching every class.

When I was a teen, I went to a different camp, and they had multiple swim lessons going on all morning, and there were always multiple counselors, and lifeguards watching the pool at all times.

The fact that there was no criminal negligence found is absolutely absurd. I intend on teaching my own children how to swim, since I assisted with swim lessons when I worked at camp the two summers after I was too old to attend. Once you learn, it’s easy to teach kids, but you need more than one eye on the pool.
