Tips on Water Safety Water Safety is critical. According to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated 260 chil-dren under five years of age drown each year in residential swimming pools and spas. It is estimated that an-other 3,000 children under age five are treated in hospital emergency rooms following submersion accidents each year. Some of these submersion accidents result in permanent brain damage. Nationally, drowning is the fourth leading cause of death to children under five.

To ensure that your children are safe, never leave them unsupervised around water. Teach your child to swim, but remember that younger children shouldn't be left unsupervised around water even if they know how to swim.

Always wear a safety approved life jacket when on a lake, river or ocean while boating, water skiing, jet skiing or tubing.  Warn your children about playing in canals or other fast moving water.  Do not let your child play around any water (lake, pool, ocean, etc.) without adult supervision (even if he is a good swimmer).  Don't allow running or rough play around the water. Childproof your swimming pool with a fence around your backyard and a fence (at least 4 feet high) around the pool, with a self-closing, self-latching gate. Also consider having a phone poolside and learning CPR in case of emergencies. Waterpark Safety is another place where children should never go unsupervised at all times. Older kids can use the buddy system. If your child is a weak swimmer use a floatation device. Be sure to read and follow ALL park rules. Your child should always wear sunscreen. Do not be fooled by waterproof sunscreen. Reapply it after swimming. Give them plenty of water to drink to avoid heat related illnesses and know their physical lim-its. Observe rides before you let them ride them. Do not allow children to dive. Always make sure you know the depth of the water they wade in. If you have a toddler check body temperatures often. Most minor injuries at waterparks are caused by slips and falls - don't run. It’s a good idea for parents to know CPR, First Aid and where telephones are located.
