  1. Teach him to swim. Most babies know how instinctively. But do it with being the teacher and hold him in the water until he gets the hang of it. Most little kids love the water once they learn how to swim. Then he will not drown in the future when he falls off a boat, etc.

  2. re focus… the lesson learned should be by the father… he should be sanctioned…this should not even happen at all… very young children should never be near danger at all… even a nice pool….. hope everyone is well and fine……..

  3. The boy (buddy) that went running and hiding in the corner should be ashamed. This is what American culture tries to teach boys to be weak and afraid while it teaches girls to be brave and strong. As a boy it is not ok to cry, not ok to be afraid. Now everyone will see him running and hiding in a corner because a friend was choking. He will be teased.
