In a video posted to Smith's Instagram last week, River's 8-month-old brother, Maverick, is seen taking infant self-rescue swimming lessons with an Infant Swimming Resource instructor. “He’s in full clothes and a diaper. He can barely crawl, but now he knows how to hold his breath, twist his body, find the air, float on his back and cry,” the singer, 42, wrote. “He can do this falling in head first, feet first or any orientation. He has the skills to float until the help comes.”
“Drowning is the #1 accidental death of children age 4 and under," Smith continued."Thinking that adult supervision is enough is an absolutely DEADLY miscalculation. Hear me. I used to think that too." He also encouraged parents to install safety fences and pool alarms and to use U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets in open water.“I could not attend these classes because of my own vulnerabilities,” Smith revealed. “But @amberemilysmith is an absolute rockstar and feels an obligation to the public to share this message. Spread the word. River’s life mattered. He’s saving thousands of others. Hear me.”“I was 20 feet away,” Granger recalled. “I was playing gymnastics with my daughter.
OMG. No words.
