Never leave a child unattended in the water or pool area for any
reason. Don't be distracted by doorbells, phone calls, chores or
conversations. If you must leave the pool area, take the child with
you, making sure the pool gate latches securely when it closes.
> Always keep your eyes on the child or children. Designate a child
watcher, whether you or someone else, when you attend a party or
have friends or family over.
> Talk with baby-sitters about pool safety, supervision and drowning
prevention.
> Post rules such as "No running," "No pushing," "No dunking" and
"Never swim alone." Enforce the rules.
> Don't rely on swimming lessons or "floaties" to protect your
children in the water.
> Don't assume that drowning or a drowning incident couldn't happen
to you or your family.
> Don't have a false sense of security just because you think your
pool area and home are secure. Always watch your children, whether
in the house or outside.
> Attend a CPR class. Make sure your baby-sitter knows CPR.
> For the nearest cardiopulmonary resuscitation class, contact your
fire department, Red Cross or hospital.
> Encourage your neighbors to follow pool safety guidelines,
including keeping their back gates and doors locked, and their pool
gates securely closed and latched. |
