All this week, CBS2 brought you stories about water safety and ways to prevent tragedy.
Stew and Kim Leonard have spent the last 30 years not only raising their family and running the well known grocery chain Stew Leonard's, but also working to promote water safety. It's a mission close to their hearts after they lost their 21-month-old son Stewie in a drowning incident back in 1989. The family founded the Stew Leonard III Water Safety Foundation in 1990. Now they've expanded their mission by opening Stewie the Duck Swim School in Norwalk, Connecticut.
