Helpful Hints to Prevent Water Accidents
-
All parents, babysitters, and guardians
should be certified in CPR and First Aid.
-
Have a telephone within reach at all times
when in or around the pool.
-
Always watch your children - never assume
someone else is watching them.
-
Check the pool first if your child is missing
- every second counts.
-
Never consider your child "drown-proof," even
after swim lessons.
-
Teach your children to never swim alone and
to ask an adult to watch them swim.
-
Remove all toys from the pool and pool area
after every use, so children are not tempted to reach out for them.
-
Keep rescue equipment near the pool.
-
Take precautions with pool covers - children
may try to walk over or swim under. They should be removed completely
before swimming so children cannot swim under the cover.
-
Clean pool water ensures sanitary conditions
and high visibility.
-
Use layers of protection: pool fences,
self-closing and self-latching gates, dead bolts on doors leading to pool,
pool alarms, alarms for the doors and windows leading to pools, safety
covers for the pool.
-
Teach your children to swim.
