Now that the weather has finally warmed up as it seems Spring has arrived for good it's the perfect time to swim and play around in the water. The pool and beach are great places to cool off on sunny days but it is important to stay safe. Here are a few tips to make sure you and your family have a fun and safe spring:
*Never leave a child near any body of water, not even for a second.
*Maintain constant, eyes-on uninterrupted supervision.
*Don't designate supervision to an older child or sibling.
*Build layers of defense around your pool. Keep pool fences locked when not in use.
*Install high locks and alarms on ALL doors & windows that lead to the pool.
*Enroll your child in swim lessons. Choose a program that will teach your child the skills to handle him/herself in the water. Check the instructor's qualification. Confirm that the instructor is certified to teach self-rescue swimming skills & that she is CPR & First Aid Certified.
