Nice!! Red Cross Survey: Nearly 80 Percent Of Americans Plan Water-Related Summer Activities, But A Third Lack Sufficient Skills Families can become better prepared by taking a Red Cross course More than a third of people planning to swim, boat or fish this summer cannot swim well, according to a new American Red Cross survey. The survey1 of more than 1,000 adults, taken earlier this spring, found that 78 percent of households are planning at least one water-related recreational activity this summer. However, 37 percent describe their swimming skills as fair, lacking or non-existent – with 13 percent unable to swim at all. “Water safety is important for swimmers and non-swimmers alike, and the best thing any- one can do to help stay safe during water-related activities is to learn how to swim,” said Ann Holt, regional director of health and safety at the local American Red Cross. Proper adult supervision is essential during water activities, as the survey showed that half of those surveyed will be in charge of supervising a child near a pool, lake or other body of water this summer. “Most adults realize that leaving a child temporarily unsupervised near or in the water is never acceptable, yet, sadly, every year lives are lost because of this,” Holt added. Children should not go near or enter the water without the permission and supervision of an adult. Those who own a home pool should secure it with appropriate barriers and install pool and gate alarms. The Red Cross recommends designating at least one adult to solely be responsible for watching those in and around the water - even if a lifeguard is present. Adults should be in the water with inexperienced swimmers and remain within arm’s reach of them. This “arm’s-reach supervision” is safer than putting water wings or floaties on a small child, as these items are not designed to keep a child’s face out of the water and can leak, slip-off and provide a false sense of security. However, the survey found that a third of the survey respondents (32 percent) mistakenly believed that the floaties were safer than arms- reach supervision. More Men Know How to Swim than Women According to the Red Cross survey, men were more likely to know how to swim than women (92 percent versus 82 percent) and 29 percent of those 65 and older could not swim at all. Men were more confident in their abilities to handle water emergencies than women. For example, more than half of men (54 percent) said they could safely handle a situation where someone is in water over their head, compared to 36 percent of women. Water Safety is Important for the Entire Family The survey found that nearly 6 in 10 people said that they learned to swim between the ages of 5 and 10, but water safety should be a life-long commitment. The Red Cross has been a leader in aquatics training for more than 95 years and has developed a comprehensive program starting with Parent and Child Aquatics (6 months to about 5 years old) through lessons for adults. Participants learn swimming skills with a strong emphasis on drowning prevention and water safety. Water safety tips and information can be found on www.redcross.org. People can contact their local Red Cross to find out where Learn-to-Swim programs are offered. 1 Details: Telephone survey of 1,085 U.S. adults 18 years and older on April 7-11, 2011, conducted by ORC International.

The truth shall set you free - Part 2 After some 400 years of en- slavement at the hands of the Egyptians, the Israelites were miraculously, divinely granted their freedom. It was what they had pleaded for day after day for centuries. But a scant 45 days into their freedom march, at the fi rst sign of diffi culty, they de- sired to return to the chains they had grown to despise (Ex. 16:1-3). It makes one wonder just what in the world they were thinking. Before we throw those fi ckle Israelites down the river, we with Richard Prow rpcrosswords@gmail.com who have accepted God’s forgiveness and grace should ask ourselves that same question. The Bible says that those who have begun a relationship with Christ have been set free from sin (Romans 6). Yet we, just like the Israelites of old, continue to travel down that nostalgic road of destruction. So how do we break free? Is there some Bible verse we can memorize to break this curse? Is there some prayer we can recite over and over? Can’t God just take the temptation away? Surely there’s an easy answer. The truth is there’s not an easy answer or an easy way. It is a battle you and I are going to have to fi ght for the rest of our natural lives. Jesus said we have to deny ourselves (our sinfulness) and “take up His cross daily” (Luke 9:23). Grace may be a free and easy gift from God, but overcoming the temptation to sin is a challenge and it is on us. Essentially the Israelites wanted a commercial jet with fi rst class seats to take them to the promised land. They wanted their freedom from captivity but they didn’t want to have to break a sweat to get it. We are not much different. We want God to remove the temptation and the tempter. We want the road to heaven to be smooth and straight. Yet there are no shortcuts to the ‘Promised Land.’ Most often our paths must be traversed through the desert. Stay the course. If you stumble, get up and start over. We don’t want to be like our Jewish forefathers who died out in the desert, without seeing the best God had for them on this earth. “Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness” (Romans 6:13-14).
