I was a Rescue/Recovery Diver for the King County Sheriff's Department from 1956 to 1974. During that time I was involved with the recovery of 200 plus bodies of drowning victims. Most of them were small kids at local lakes in the County.

So, yes I know what drowning looks like!

As many know here the King County area has many lakes as well as Puget Sound. The average temperature in Puget Sound is 48 degrees year round. Most of the lakes are spring fed and can be very cold. Our summer this year has been late in coming and the lakes haven't warmed up much.

People who depend on 'life guards' to watch over their children are fools! Anytime you have a child swimming in a pool, lake or ocean you need to keep your undivided attention on them full time!
