Drowning is Preventable

Adding layers of protection is vital in preventing childhood drowning

CONSTANT SUPERVISION: Stay within arm’s reach, use touch supervision, “It's not a lack of supervision, it’s a LAPSE in supervision that puts children at risk    

WATER WATCHER: Designate a water watcher, free of all distractions

FENCES WITH SELF-LATCHING GATE: install a Fence around the pool, self self-latching gate is best

ALARMS & LOCKS: Install high locks and alarms on all doors and windows. Consider additional alarms, such as pool surface alarms and immersion alarms

PET DOORS: remove all pet doors

REMOVE TEMPTATION: remove all pool toys when not in use & never leave furniture or items your child can climb on and over the fence

LEARN CPR: You can find a class online!

ALWAYS CHECK THE POOL FIRST IF YOUR CHILD IS MISSING: DON’T WASTE PRECIOUS TIME
