Rise and Grind today is June 21st, 2010 the first day of summer which for many means visits to the pool and trips to the beach. But the American Academy of Pediatrics is urging caution when it comes to summer splashing Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for those younger than 19 and can be prevented, the group says.. African-Americans in particular are threaten by the statistic , the reason why kids never have the urge to swim , is the lack of access to pools, the expense of swimming lessons and the idea that recreational swimming is a culturally white activity, and the thought of their hair getting messed up. The most common reason cited by African-Americans for not knowing how to swim, however, was a fear of drowning. This summer their has to be a change, we need to get our kids out to the local swimming pools to start learning how to swim, their is no better time then now! Just because you as a parent don’t know how to swim we at least need to teach our children. Pools open June 13th, 2010- close August 15th, 2010
