They doggy paddled around the edge of the pool, panting and fighting to keep up with the other children. I asked if they needed a life jacket, but the parent told me they were a strong swimmer. It was a gross overestimate of their skills. Less than five minutes later, the child had flung themselves over the edge of the diving board. They…
