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!
