Safety Tips

Water and Drowning Safety

  • Always watch children near water. Don't leave, even for a moment.
  • Use a barrier like a fence to keep children away from pools or other bodies of water.
  • Empty and turn over all water containers after you use them.
  • Teach children to swim when they're ready, usually after age 4.
  • Teach children to never run, push or jump on others around water.
  • Teach children never to swim alone.
