Drowning is the leading cause of death in children with autism under age 14. Shirley Fett and Tammy Anderson are working to change that. Shirley, an executive board member of Autism Society San Diego, helped pioneer pool events and lessons in her community after looking for help with her two sons with autism, who are now 29 and 31. Tammy Anderson, the CEO of AquaPros Swim School, San Diego, has been pioneering swim programs for the autism community for more than 20 years, and trains teachers around the country.
