Actions to PREVENT DROWNING
- Teach your child to swim.
This protects them for life in all waterways – lakes rivers, oceans, etc! - Teach and enforce safe enjoyment of the pool.
No running near the pool, no diving head first – except off dive boards, no jumping or climbing on others in the pool, no swimming alone, no swimming if intoxicated! - Use life jackets while they learn.
- Create your own pool SAFETY network!
Ask us about ideas & products to employ layers of safety in your pool! - Always supervise swimming children.
- Always designate a specific water watcher.
Especially during pool parties with multiple adults and children. We use an ID badge holder on a lanyard with instructions for 30min shifts. The watcher does not eat, read, play on the phone or engage in conversation; they only WATCH the children swimming! MANY drownings occur in large groups! - Know CPR!
