They are lucky no kid died yesterday:

My friend's son does crew for another group and was also out there yesterday, but came back in before this happened.

I asked if they have the kids wear life jackets during training in cold water, and he said no.

Very surprising they don't have the kids wear compact or inflatable vests with the current water temps.
