Tips For Keeping Kids Safe Around the Water
*Maintain constant supervision. Watch your children around water, no matter what their skills are or how shallow the water. For younger children, practice “Reach Supervision” by staying within an arm’s length reach.
*Don’t rely on substitutes. The use of flotation devices and inflatable toys can not replace parental supervision. Such devices can shift position, lose aiur or slip out form underneath, leaving the child in a dangerous situation.
*Enroll children in swimming lessons. Your decision to provide your child with an early aquatic experience is a gift that will have infinite rewards.
