Went to the pool to swim today but it was really crowded with kids for some reason. There is this one kid there that I got to know over the summer. Ten years old and an unbelievably good swimmer. He can do more fast laps than I see most adults do. Anyway he finished his laps and was playing with a bunch of boys in the deep end. I suddenly noticed that his behavior was “off” somehow. Almost disoriented. Then he dove into the water and when he came up I could tell he didn’t know where he was. Mom was playing on her phone and the young lifeguard just didn’t recognize what was happening. I swam over and grabbed him and helped him get to the wall. Bottom line was that the kid hadn’t had breakfast, just a “protein” bar of some kind on the way in. He was hypoglycemic. I gave him another protein bar because that’s all I had and water and he felt better quickly.. I wish parents would take this more seriously. Kids are not little adults, and when it is crowed at a pool, like today, you have to watch your kid. Protein bars and Captain Crunch does not constitute a healthy meal for anyone, but certainly not for kids. Had he sunk to the bottom of the pool he could have drowned before anyone noticed.
