#23: Learn to Float

One of the things that you were most excited about was having a pool in FL. To be honest, I've never been more scared. We immediately installed a safety fence around the pool, made sure all of the doors had working alarms/locks, and signed you up for swim lessons. We chose Little Otters Swim Academy and fully embraced the idea that learning to float could save your life.

Lesson: learn to float and one day when you have kids, teach them to float - the earlier the better! Look into survival swimming. Make it a priority! TODAY...
