This past weekend's heatwave sent me to a local swimming pond in Georgetown equipped with a beach, dock, floating raft for the kids to swim out to, playground, volleyball net, tennis courts, basketball court, batting cages and ampitheatre; all things reminiscent of good old fashioned Summertime fun. Even the ice-cream truck showed up!

So just take a moment, at least remember this -- children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why. Click here to find out what drowning looks like. Hint...It's doesn't look like drowning.
