Kids having fun with peers, aren't thinking abt. death, and whether the need to or not, or should, they just don'talways. Drowning does happen in the summertime with inexpereinced swimmers and good swimmers alike.
My second son James Darin drown July 6, 1995. Aged 23.
He decided to swim across a small lake, and on the way back, he couldn't make it.
Should, and needed to think like that, are too late after someone drowns. Which in this article is the case.
My whole hearted sympathy goes out to the family. The suvivors of a lost loved one. My prayers and thoughts are with u, with an understanding that can not be discribed or calculated by anybody except someone who has lost a child, too. No matter what age.
The great pain in my heart is lessened by the grace of God. My grief doesn't completely ever go away. Sometimes it can be channeled into a new direction. Whatever that may be. It gets better, a new awareness of life finally comes to the grieving souls.
In 2002 my daughter 24yr. was killed in an auto accident on icy roads. She should have stayed at home that morning right? Should have, and needed to, don't bring her back. She was young viberant, upbeat, and my very beautiful only daughter, who had an accident, which was a sudden death tragedy.
I am very grateful for my Grandchildren and two surviving sons, and their spouses. It has taken quite a toll on the whole family. Siblings are really affected too.

Thanks for letting me share this. lg

I'm unaware of how safe this teenager was trying to be while swimming, however I think that every youth needs to take into thought how safe they need to be while swimming this is the 3 teenage drowing death I have heard of in like the last 3 or 4 weeks...It is so sad that they lose their lives this way...They need to think of ways to stay safe and swim in areas where they know there are people or they are with people that they know can help them if they get in this type of situation...And if you are unsure if you can swim across the lake, the pond, or whatever it is you are swimming in just be safe and do not do it.....Please keep safety first, then fun!!
