Aide to Maryland Health Secretary @drJoshS says there will be further response shortly to my demands for more info on Louis Lowenthal death.
@ConcernedMom9
@irvmuch @drJoshS At the very least, hope more rules suggested for how/when breath-holding/hypoxic drills can be used with young swimmers.
@irvmuch
@ConcernedMom9 @drJoshS Root question more basic: How can Michael Phelps’ team get off scot-free in swimmer death w/out having lifeguard?
@ConcernedMom9
@irvmuch @drJoshS I never see lifeguards present @ practice (club/school) prob. because coaches assumed to serve dual purpose (coach/guard)
@irvmuch
@ConcernedMom9 @drJoshS Sharon — No lifeguard, no coach, no nothing, when Louis Lowenthal drowned Oct 2012 at Meadowbrook in Baltimore.
@ConcernedMom9
@irvmuch @drJoshS Maybe time to evaluate safety procedures 4 practice-limits on breath-holding & making sure pool cleared b4 coaches leave
@ConcernedMom9
@irvmuch @drJoshS I have 14-yr-old swimmer & the Lowenthal drowning really bothers me as a swim parent-my 3 kids 14/11/10 do hypoxic drills
