Relocate With Kids

If you are moving into a new home or neighborhood with a pool, please watch this video about the dangers of Dry Drowning. This potentially fatal condition can occur an hour or more after swimming or bathing and results from damage to the lungs from inhaled water.

You must look out for warning signs of Dry Drowning after water play, including:

1. Difficulty breathing
2. Extreme fatigue
3. Change in behavior or motor functions

Please watch the video for more information about a little boy who died from this condition and advice from an NYU physician on how to spot this situation in your own children.
