LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â One-year-old Bella spent the morning swimming fully clothed at the Aqua Tots pool in Lexington.
Her mother, Brittany Walters, said there s a good reason for that. She wants Stella to be ready in case she ever fell into a pool accidentally with her clothes on.
A few other kids also participated in the safety course, like Amy Stuck s two boys. If they were to fall in with clothes on I would be nervous that they wouldn t know what to do, Stuck said. But now that they ve done this, they know Oh, I can still swim even though I have on regular clothes or winter clothes .
