MOST RECENT SURVIVAL STORY:
10/27/09
I wanted to pass along a story to thank Ms. Gretchen for all she has done with
training my son Parker (2yrs old).
Yesterday I experienced the unimaginable. I live on the river in Jacksonville FL. I was
cleaning fish not 10 feet away from Parker when I heard a big splash. Parker fell off the
bulkhead. I immediately ran over and jumped in the water after him. He was
face up floating just like Ms. Gretchen trained him. The water was very dark (tanic)
and the only thing I could see was his face calmly breathing above water. He was
wearing jeans, long sleeve shirt and shoes. These classes taught him to naturally
and calmly survive in stressful situations ie falling off a bulkhead. Even though I was
right there, there's no telling what could have happened if he didn't know how to
swim/survive. If you live near water, pool, retention pond ... etc; these lessons are
a must.
I have shared this story and Ms. Gretchen's contact info to all my friends that have
children.
God Bless,
Terry |
