"Hold your breath and stay still. Notice how you float?"

There, now everyone knows how to swim. More you flail your arms and legs, harder it is to keep your face out of the water.

Whole lifevest and arm balloon things for little kids to stay afloat isn't helping them as those just prevent them learning what they need to do to be able to breath relying on them, instead of learning breath-control. If you keep even a little breath and close your mouth then relax, it's the easiest thing in the world to float. Whole strokes and face-down postures aren't how people should learn how to swim. Should be taught to swim backwards face-up and control your breath.

Five kids...why?
Obviously the extremely poor life choices she made to have 5 kids, is the same lack of intelligence that led her to taking all of them at the pool at the same time.

Were you a single parent, with little to no income of your own also?

After reading what was said about the pool, to me, being in the pool at all was a stupid move to make. It sounds like it wasn't clean!

God bless you always!!!

P.S. As for them kids being the ages that they were, they were old enough to know that they couldn't swim so what made them think that all would be okay if they were in the pool's deep end?
