- In 2007 my son Zachary drowned after his arm got stuck in the drain of the pool.
- I had done everything I thought was needed for water safety, from swim lessons to having an adult nearby.
- We started a foundation to help other parents learn about water safety.
On July 28, 2007, my family's life changed forever.
It was a scorching summer afternoon at our new home. We sat around our backyard pool and closely watched as our 6-year-old son, Zachary, showed off his swimming skills while I rocked our 2-month-old daughter, Sydney, in my arms. There was no sign of the tragedy that was about to unfold.
