Those back yard wading pools pose just as many risks as the in ground bigger pools do. Here's what you need to know to make sure your kids have a safe Summer.
With the 4th of July holiday tomorrow, you can expect people to engage in activities to beat the heat and I don't blame them! It's been crazy hot and muggy so far this Summer.
With that being said, SPAR has announced that all of their swimming pools will be closed on July 4th in observance of the holiday...
The weather is getting warmer, school is almost out and Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner... You know what time it is! Time to open the Shreveport city pools!
Dr. Harry Briggs is an inspiration. At 91-years-old, he is still swimming to honor his late wife and help his beloved school, Northwestern State University in Natchitoches.

He made the swim in about four hours. He was accompanied by Cross Lake Patrol officers to make sure he was safe...
This one should make your heart stop, or at the very least blurt out a gasp. This video of a 5-year-old girl swimming with sharks was recorded by her parents and posted to be "cute," but it has been seen by others as anything but cute.
Pool season is almost here, so you might want to rethink that swim suit...at least if you plan to visit a pool in Bournemouth, England. The UK Sun reports that a dad was kicked out of a pool, because the lifeguard was not keen on his swimwear. No, the dad wasn't rocking a Speedo, or a thong -- just an extra-long pair of swimming trunks.
Roy Lester, a lifeguard in Long Island, says he was fired... Not for being out of shape or for falling asleep on the job... But for refusing to wear a Speedo!
He's been a long-time lifeguard at Jones Beach. And, when going through the endurance tests this year, he decided to wear something a little more, uh, appropriate for his age.
Northwestern State University’s Demon Aquatic Club will offer an after-school developmental swim program and competitive practices. Classes will be from 3-5 p.m. Monday-Thursday at Nesom Natatorium September through May. The cost includes a $60 registration fee that covers insurance and a monthly fee of $50 per swimmer.
The big shots around here asked me to come up with a list of my favorite places to take the kids swimming. Thankfully, I don't have to take them anymore, but here are the places they love to go.
