Layers of Protection:

  • Adult Supervision

  • 4 sided fence WITH self closing, self latching gate

  • Door and pool alarms

  • Know CPR

  • Remove objects from the pool

  • Educate yourself and your family and friends

  • Swim lessons…SURVIVAL swim lessons!!

  • Designate a person to be in charge when playing near or in water

 

More than 65 % of drowning deaths of children under the age of 5 happen when they are NOT swimming.

Flotation devices give children a false sense of security.

WHEN A CHILD GOES MISSING, CHECK THE POOL FIRST!!

DROWNING happens in SECONDS, is often SILENT and can occur in only a few inches of water.
