MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - A group of South Florida Girl Scouts learned some life-saving lessons in Miami Beach over the weekend.
A former Marine taught the scouts all about water safety.
The lesson took place at the Flamingo Park pool, near 11th Street and Jefferson Avenue.
The main technique they learned: how to float. “The technique is so simple if you can just make friends with your breath,” said retired U.S. Marine John Hampton. “If you take a deep one you’ll float like a ball — like a volleyball.”
Hampton said he taught the girls the same technique he used to teach Marines and other members of the U.S. Navy.
