All parents want to keep their children safe from drowning and like everyone- we had constant anxiety when our child was playing near water.

During 4th of July celebrations with family, our two-year-old silently slipped into the pool while six adults and two older children were all in the vicinity.

Our child was saved without any lasting harm but the incident ignited an urgent need to find a better solution for safety around water. We invented the SOBA band system because every family should be able to enjoy water play without the threat of accidental drowning.
