"We teach this way so that if they ever fall into a pool, they are better equipped to save themselves," Schoen said.

From the article: "Most children drown in backyard swimming pools, but it can happen in any body of water with enough density to cover the mouth and nose. That includes apartment swimming pools, lakes, rivers, oceans, ponds, bathtubs, septic tanks — even buckets.

"Drowning is persistent in Houston and across the nation. It’s the number one cause of death in children, ages 1 to 4, aside from birth defects, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"It’s almost literally a silent killer, and it takes just seconds."
