Thanks.
thats whats scary. it is natural for your child to be tired after swimming.

If you think your child may of inhaled water you will need to have them sleep sitting up is what I think. It should only be nap and somewhere you can keep an eye on them. There is a great chance of heat stroke, dehydration, etc. after swimming in a pool after getting out from all the sun.

Though I wonder...........
The foaming of the mouth they said the child had could also be a sign of concentrated chlorine if the child was swimming in the pool and if that was the case they wouldnt been able to save him no matter what. ( its a mix of amonia and bleach once it is mixed with water in a low dose becomes chlorine from what I understand when someone explained it to me)It would seal his lungs.
If he wasnt swimming in a pool just ignore my overly active mind.
