I went swimming in the Broads yesterday with my twin 5 year old boys. Ya know what? I used a life jacket. I actually brought my ski vest with me on the boat ride knowing that it was so hot and that I would be jumping in with the kids. The thought of my kids alone in the broads and me drowning....
It would be different if I had other adults with me but I thought it was a good idea while I was alone with the two kiddo's.
This is pretty sad news considering that it was so avoidable. I usually don't even like to swim off my beach at night when I am alone up here.
