13 Water Safety Facts
Water safety is essential. I can't begin to explain how important it is! Before, we purchased our first pool a child in my husband's family passed away from drowning in their family pool. So, when my girls were little, I was determined to keep them safe especially since we had a pool in our backyard.
Before my girls could even walk, I had them in mommy/daughter swim classes to get them use to being in the water. I continued swim lessons until I knew they felt very comfortable in the water. Also, swimming was the perfect way to get them out of the house and exercise.
Water Safety Facts Kids
- If you do own a pool, make sure you install barriers surrounding it. We had a pool with a deck, so I always made sure that the deck was locked. You can also purchase pool alarms. Also, in most cities, there are ordinances you must follow when you install a pool. Make sure you check with your city!
- Never swim alone. I don't care if you're an adult you should always have someone with you in case there is an accident.
- If you're a young or inexperienced swimmer always wear a US Coastguard approved life vest.
- When the pool is not in use and accessible, make sure you remove the ladder.
- Keep toys away from the pool, so a child will not try to reach it and accidently fall in.
- Even if a lifeguard is present always watch your kids when they're in the water.
- Always be within arm's reach of small children when they're in the water.
- Have a cell phone nearby in case you need to dial 911. Make sure your kids know what to do in the event of an emergency.
- Enroll in a local water safety class and become CPR certified.
- Establish safety rules in your family regarding your pool.
- Swim only in designated areas.
- Know your child's limit in the water. If you see them becoming tired, it may be time to remove them from the water.
- Sign up for age-appropriate swim lessons. You're never too old to learn to swim.
