Olympian missyfranklin gave us her best tips on how to keep our little ones safe in the water. Her advice is something all parents need to heed for a fun summer.
Secondary only to motherhood is her involvement in the cause she’s passionate about: the USA Swimming Foundation. She’s been active in the organization for nearly 7 years, and this year is especially exciting; after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the foundation’s Make a Splash Tour, presented by Phillips 66, was back on the road this May.
If teaching kids to swim was already a passion of hers, motherhood has made Missy 100% more dedicated to the cause. Like every mom, she says of her daughter, “I wish I could just put her in a bubble-wrapped ball and just protect her, but the truth is I’m not able to do that, and it’s a hard realization as a mom,” she says.
That being said, though, Missy is clear that she doesn’t want parents to be afraid; just aware. Her ultimate hope is that parents can empower their kids by equipping them with the proper training to handle themselves safely in and around water. “This is a serious thing, and we have what we believe is essentially a cure,” she says. “We’re just trying to spread that as much as possible.”
