When Sarah was a kid, her 2 year old brother fell into their backyard pool while Sarah and her other siblings swam. No one noticed the young child had fallen in, until minutes later, her mom ran outside and jumped in the water to save him. Her brother was pronounced dead at the scene but miraculously survived and made a complete and full recovery. Praise God! She is committed to sharing our stories to help prevent this from happening again. Sarah is a mom and has already had her son, Luke enrolled in survival swim lessons.
