The Fishers Fire Department is doing more than just talking about safety, they are bringing valuable information to the people who need it the most, kids and their parents.
Especially this summer after two young girls drowned in a retention pond on June 15, in Greenwood.
"A lot of time people will just jump in to save their friend and that often causes a second victim,” Mehling said. “So, we want to go through the different possibilities they might utilize being aware of their surroundings things that they can use. If they are swimming by themselves and they have an incident here are some techniques in which you can do some self-rescue.
They say that the spike could be due to COVID-19. Pools were closed and fewer people had access to swimming lessons, which they suspect is a factor in the increase. The Fishers Fire department says parents should always be vigilant while their kids are swimming. They recommend taking turns watching them with another adult.
