Drennen O’Melia, a highly skilled competitive swimmer, fatally drowned on June 6, 2010 while at a pool staffed with seasoned lifeguards. Drennen’s father, Bill O’Melia, will share what went wrong at the pool that day when his oldest son died.
Maria Bella will share groundbreaking information learned during a five-year scientific study into why lifeguards fail to identify submerged drowning victims.
